Under my Umbrella

Feature garden by Ben Hoyle, well-known NZ landscape designer, at 2014 Ellerslie International Flower Show.

Today I remember a friend who died six years ago, when the Lancair Legacy plane he was piloting crashed.

@paul2782 Glad you like it - there was water cascading down the plastic paddles which I couldn't really capture well - it was quite difficult to get a good position to photograph the display - lots of people milling around and also the area around it was planted up quite densely.

@gigiflower @andrina @tonygig Thanks for your compliments - most appreciated.

Stunning sculpture and image. i was wondering if there was water involved. I still don't see detail really well but thought there should be water on those paddles!
sorry for the loss of your friend.
