| Do you collect watering cans? I do not collect (only 2). They are very practical. I have a light translucent pink plastic. Show us yours! |

| The weather this weekend is gorgeous. The garden has come to life. Reminds me of the word 'cocoon'. Mme Ernest Calvat |

| Salvia. Just because, it's beautiful among the roses. |
|
| That's one of the prettiest watering cans I've seen. Mme. Ernest is an absolute dream of a rose. Does she stay fairly healthy for you. Please post Mme. Lauriol de Barny again when she's blooming. I can't wait to see everyone's pictures when your roses and other plants begin to bloom. Ingrid |

| O, will get the camera out cos I have heaps - really, at least a dozen cans of varying sizes and ages. The top cans in the UK are Haws, so naturally, I have both plastic and metal in every size, from the tiny brass 1/2 litre (1 pint) to the large10 litre (2 gallon). Favourite is the long-handled red enamelled 4.5 litre (and probably most expensive at around 80 dollars equivalent). Somewhere, there is another antique 6 pint pot bellied can, various old galvanised ones, at least a couple of bright enamel ones...and numerous green plastic jobs. Some people collect shoes! |

| Just a few on my propagation table. |
|
| I had some. The puppies "improved" them. Here's the survivor: |
|
| I have four, two large for outside and two small for inside. Nothing fancy just plain utilitarian plastic ones in different colors and sizes so I can put them at each faucet inside and out. I actually need a new small one for the basement where I do my seedlings. I sprung a leak! |
|
| Hoov- LOL! And what is that lovely apricot rose in the background? |
|
| 'Tamora'

| Campanula, your collection sounds photo worthy! We had raindrops on roses today, Sunday. Awakening. I will post photos of Mme Lauriol de Barny when in bloom. |
|
| The yellow one on the left was part of my retirement "package" from my staff. Great design and holds a lot. The steel one on the right will be repainted and become garden art.
Nice Hoov. There is nothing like a happy Tamora!

| Great photos. I love watering cans. |
|
| I had to laugh at hoovs pic, because it looks exactly like a few of mine I'm the 2 years it took my bulldog to stop chewing everything! He loved to do that, make " improvements"! Kristy - I love your table!! Did you make it yourself? It's beautiful ! |
