While touring an outstanding garden in Victoria, BC, I came upon this scene in the driveway. A purple moss covered Karmen Ghia with flat tires surrounded by plants still in their nursery pots. It made me laugh out loud - even people with gardeners have their stash of unplanted plants! Instead of hiding them and being ashamed (I hear it so often, there seems to be alot of guilt about not getting your plants in the ground), this garden owner decided to make it a feature. Obviously someone with a sense of humor and healthy attitude about imperfection. Very cool!

Guess I need a "Car Feature" in my garden to distract from all my un- planted pots. That could probably be arranged :)
