Things have been going well so far. All flowers are in their final locations now. Out of the eight sunflowers I cultivated I have given away five. So only three are left on my balcony.

The two boxes on the floor contains Chrysanthemum greens and Bluehead gilia mixed together. The tree pots up against the wall contains the three sunflowers. The hanging box to the right contains the Buck Bay vygie. The big pot contains the Clematis I received for my birthday last year. I'm happy it survived the winter.

We choose to "plant" some fake grass in the balcony box this year. Our dog Simpson likes to stand there and watch, so we didn't want to place anything there that would block his view.

The Rhubarb has survived yet another winter. This winter I for the first time let it stand out on the balcony. Looks like I made a good decision. It looks better than ever.

Close to the gigantic "statue" Nimis there is another art piece by the same artist, Lars Vilks. He made it in 1991 and named it Arx (latin for fortress). It looks like a melted ruin and you could make the assumption that it is a sculpture. But it's actually a book with is own ISBN-number and all (91-88248-47-X).
