The Japanese Painted Fern, Athyrium niponicum Pictum’. In our round garden it is an absolute treat, with soft silvery greyish-green foliage that has a hint of maroon finely etched through the fronds.
I have heard some gardeners refer to Ferns as something we may plant when we could think of nothing else for the position.
I just don’t feel that way about them. In fact I think that one of the best ways to add structure to a border can be with the use of Ferns. If in the past you have shunned them thinking they are boring take a look at this one.
The Japanese Painted Fern, Athyrium niponicum Pictum is a striking deciduous fern with soft greyish-green silvery foliage touched with a hint of maroon This unique Painted Fern grows to a height of about 18 inches and certainly earns its place in our round garden. Grows best of all in a semi shaded position where it is free draining, do take care it doesn’t dry out though.
Perfect as a specimen plant It will contrast well with Hostas or red leafed Heuchera. As I have already suggested, grow this one and you will see Ferns in a new light. Although it is perfectly hardy, my experience has been that in our garden it does not look at its best until late Summer.
I have to be honest, although we have had this plant for many years and it has never let us down, it is very slow in developing after it first emerges in Spring giving the impression that it would be happier with temperatures a little higher.
Hardiness – Fully hardy in our Aberdeen garden

I bought a cement birdbath about a month ago from Walmart. I've always liked birdbaths, but have not owned one due to the cost. The ones I've seen in the past have always been over $100 and I just didn't feel like spending that kind of $$ on one. Then, when I was at Walmart one day, I thought I'd stroll through the garden statues they had in the parking lot. I asked one of the employees how much the birdbaths were and he said $24.99. $24.99????!!! I must have one! So, I bought one and brought it home. My son was visiting, so he moved it from the car to the back yard. It's pretty heavy! After I had the spot ready for it, the son came over again for a visit, so, I asked if he could move it to the new location. He carried the base, I carried the top (which was pretty heavy on its own). He set the base down and I handed him the top. He placed the top on the base, or I should say he tried to place the top on the base because it didn't fit!!! How can it not fit? Then I thought back on how it looked when I bought it and remembered that the top was slightly askew. I just figured it hadn't been set on the base evenly. Come to find out, the hole in the bottom of the basin was more oval than round.
