We spent the weekend in Wilmington and did a little exploring and looking for butterflies and fun gardens. You might recall the
bottle flowers I took photos of in Durham back in February. For some reason those crazy Pinterest people have turned my bottle flowers posts into my
top post having had
7100 visitors since February 2012. For the life of me I can not comprehend why people would have photos by others as the focus of there personal web sites.
We found another bottle flower around the corner from these in another yard, so maybe someone is selling them.
These seem to be made fairly simple, looks like a 7 or 8 inch PVC sewer pipe with bolts set in it to hold the bottles by their corks. If this is PVC pipe I don't think the bolts or screws will stay firmly mounted a long time. The stem looks to be a section of steel pipe that is bolted to the red ring. If these rings are made from steel and bolts might hold the bottles a very long time.
I like those bottle flowers. Not sure about them being easy to make, my handiman skills are limited. I am still saving bottles. Not big drinkers, but have occasional wine...mostly German white wine (blue bottles!!) One of these days will get something done.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've never been a fan of bottle trees--but these bottle flowers are really cute! Still, knowing our children, I think I'll wait awhile before adding any glass objects into the garden.;-) Just found your site, and look forward to visiting again soon!
ReplyDeleteThese are really neat and so different then other bottle type trees. No welding talent here so I would have to purchase one...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know the artist of these bottle flowers because they are quite clever.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Pinterest goes I do not like that website and can't understand why others think it is so great. But I suppose I will leave my views for another matter. It is interesting each blogger's take on it all.
Love the bottle flowers. They are really a lovely. It is indeed a wonderful thing to put in the garden as a accent. Cool!
