Yard Art?

Is it yard art or does it have another function?

(Today is my parents 42nd anniversary.  Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad.)

  1. Happy Anniversary to your folks! Mike & I are not far away at 37 this past Dec. This is a Bottle Tree. You really see a lot of these out in desert communities. At first , the thing at the top looked like a weather station (we have one) but on second look it is just tinier bottles. I like this!!!

  2. I’ll have to look up Bottle Trees now Pat.
    We are coming up on our 17th year together.
    We had a little sleet/snow activity this morning, but then it stopped. I hope more is on the way.

  3. Yes, it is a bottle tree and I want one. I’ve seen them in gardening magazines and think it would be a perfect addition to my crazy backyard. Now I just need to find someone to build me one…I’ll provide the bottles. (smile)

  4. Their origin is from Africa. The bottles trees are used to draw evil spirits away from the home. They are big in the South.

  5. Have never seen a bottle tree, but in our travels we have seen several bottle houses especially in desert areas of Nevada. Interesting indeed!
