What a great place to put succulants! Also love the white plants behind what are they?

I kinda like the fountain on it, or at least what GP said about putting succulants in it. It is outstanding whatever you decide. How and where did you just happen to "found" it?

Oh wow! That is neat!

That is really cool! Do you plan to use water in the fountain?

What an amazing piece! I like the fountain part too, either for plants or water but if I was going to put water in I think I would change the rocks, not sure what I would put in tho.

I really like it...I keep looking for that just right driftwood but can't seem to find it...

wow, tough decision...
I absolutely love driftwood, so I'd have a heck of a time deciding which way to go..
since they already did the work of a nice fountain in there, that's a great way to have water plants..
if you have succulents, then you need that direct sun, which will be excellent to keep the driftwood bleached..
if you take it out and use it plain in the garden, then you have a wonderful piece by itself, to showcase..
knowing me, I would probably tend to leave it alone, with all work into it, getting a vine to grow around the potted cups..but you'd need holes punched into the bottom of the cups, for plants..
once dirt or desert sand is in them, then you could put sphagnum moss around the edges of the pots...
you could individually spray paint the cups, too...to even hide the aluminum stuff they're made of...

good luck with that decision..
now you have gone and made it on my 'to do soon' list, to get over to the beach and grab a few pieces of driftwood.

for the past few nights, I've been sitting here, daydreaming, or rather night dreaming of how to get some driftwood long and sturdy enough, to put in each corner of my front room, to do the notch and stack way of making this front room look more rustic.
I may have to get to a beach a bit farther, to get the pieces I know it's going to take to do what I want..

Ohhh, sunnyca, that's a FIND! I'd leave it just the way it is right now...what a focal point for your cactus garden!!! I love the patina on the copper...I sure wouldn't punch holes in it if the copper cups are in good shape. Even if you don't use the fountain as a fountain, it looks surreal! GREAT FIND! TFS!

When I saw the first pic, I thought it looked great as just driftwood and couldn't quite figure how a fountain would fit in, so I was going to suggest going the bare driftwood route...AND THEN, I saw the 2nd pic, and absolutely LOVE the fountain! I vote for keeping the fountain and enjoying the trickle of water in your garden!

Jeannie, not me, the other Sunnie from So. Ca., might have to find out where she lives & see if it's close. I'd love that driftwood, I've about used mine up. I would take it apart & use the driftwood in the garden & plant the cups, I think that would look cool. Nice find!! Jan

Whoops, sunnyca...I misread! Ok, my message above is for "sunnie!" Great find! Jeanne S.

Wow, this is more than cool.
Great find and great work on presentation. I would plant succulentst there.

Hi sunnyca....seems we both have almost the same name....glad you like my driftwood. maybe we do live close..I am in the Upland-Ontario area, how
close are you?? Would love to have you come see my garden. Sunnie

To me it looks like its begging to have some orchids mounted to it. G

Either way you decide to use it...
I love it!!

wow...you lucked out! i'd keep it like it is, you can plant your succulents in the fountain or use it as...a fountain! this goes in the FRONT yard :D
