We made a trip back to Glen Burnie as we felt like a ride today (9/17/24). There was thick cloud cover, and we knew it was going to rain later, with more over the next several days. But we thought we might be lucky if we started out early enough. This is a planter that I am always drawn to. It has two dragon handles on each side as you can see. More photos next time as I am tuckered out and am off to bed early.

I love these dragon handles, and you got great details! This deserves it's own post anyway! Looks like maybe Coleus in it? Thanks for the bits and bobs answer! We always used to say odds and ends.
ReplyDeleteStrangely for me I haven’t looked it up yet, but I think you are right Ginny. You are very welcome for the answer :) I dare say where I grew up, further north it may have been called something else.
DeleteIt does look a nice one, deep but not that wide.
ReplyDeleteIt was as you say Margaret, I would like to have that one :)
DeleteI love (and lust after) that dragon plant holder. I am looking forward to seeing more from your excursion.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t it wonderful? :) I will have another post soon. L
DeleteOh my, that planter is amazing. I love the dragon handles.
ReplyDeleteI do to Ann, I have never seen anything quite like it :)

ReplyDeleteSo glad you like it Jan, me too :)
DeleteI am quite sure that planter would appeal to most people.
ReplyDeleteI believe that would be so David :)

I loved them too :) Thank Donna and sending hugs.
Deletemy son would love the dragon planter, he has a small collection of metal dragons he has had for 40 years
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to see your son’s collection :) Maybe you could get him to share some photos?
DeleteThat's a beautiful planter!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, thanks Angie :)
DeleteThe dragon handles are cool.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, totally agree! I miss your blog BTW :)
DeleteThe urn is quite unique Denise. It looks to be cast iron. Lovely flowers and ionic columns greeted you. I hope you are all rested now, my friend. It looks like a good day to be cozy indoors.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed Martha Ellen and I believe it is cast iron :) Thank you my friend, it was a very good day to stay indoors :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to the next post and more photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, thank you Red :) I already have another post published and a follow-up on that one tomorrow.
DeleteBeautiful planter with unique handles. Very artistic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gigi, I agree wholeheartedly :)
DeleteI love gardens as much for their planters and the decorations as for the plants.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way Yogi :)
DeleteDenise thank you for sharing that gorgeous planter. It is for sure centerpiece of the gardens
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
Hi Cecelia, it’s a beauty that’s for sure :) Sending hugs!
DeleteCool dragons. Is that made of iron? Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI believe it is, though I am no expert. It was however heavy, rusty metal :) Thanks Linda :)
DeleteI do not think I have heard of this place - Glen Burnie Gardens. We are planning to go to Winchester this weekend (if the weather allows) for some apple picking...but I might scout out where these gardens are!? Thanks for sharing. You always have the loveliest photos!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind Jennifer, thank you my friend :) That’s wonderful about your apple picking. I saw their signs. I hope you get to the garden also and am glad you are going to try on the weekend. It is closed on Monday, including the museum next door.
DeleteSometimes days with cloud cover are the best for photo opps and looks like you made good use of the weather conditions, Denise.
ReplyDeleteVery true :) and yes, even under the threat of a downpour, we had a great time.
DeleteLovely to see these photographs.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more once you've had time to rest and relax.
All the best Jan
I am very happy you enjoyed them Jan, thank you :) and much appreciated. I have one post done and published, the other will be up tomorrow on the 20th. All the best to you too dear.
DeleteI hope you got a good night's sleep.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol, I did :) much appreciated.

ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome Cloudia, very happy to have your company and much appreciate the ‘sleep’ well, sweet of you to say.

DeleteI would love to visit this place....
ReplyDeleteYou would love it Rose :) It is a bit of a trek for us but worth it.
DeleteI've enjoyed your visit to this garden. I like the name Glen Burnie. It sounds like there are some glades and woody places beyond the formal areas. The vistas are appealing. I hope you slept well.
ReplyDeleteThat’s wonderful Linda, thank you so much :) It does have an appealing name doesn’t it? It reminds me of Scotland. Thank you, I slept well and so kind of you to ask.
DeleteGreat shots of the planter.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated Linda, thank you :)
