      Yes it is a bit bright Kristen :) - it's a focal point :cool:

      From the house it's not so eye catching, goes well with the yellow planting I think:

      and mid way up the garden:

        You're kidding?!!


        That would definitely catch the corner of my eye! All looks lovely @JWK, although not sure that Red Dragon with a formal parterre Box hedge in front of it is the standard Exotic Look, eh?!!

        What's up the top of the slope? Looks like an Art piece? but a bit hard to make out at this resolution, and with my eyes

          It's actually a bit closer, within that bed with the red dragon, it's three wire globes sprayed purple on canes, made by my daughter as a feature. It's supposed to distract people looking at the formal box hedge and ask why is that there :)

              If one of the main tips to control rodents is remove food sources what can you do when growing food?
