Murmer re your fountain:
I have a brass armillary sundial and wasn't sure how to deal with it - couldn't find a column I liked to put it on and one day at the garden centre they had some 'antiqued' bird baths on sale - they were not too fancy - and not too expensive ! - and I liked the color - sort of a grey blue - so got one. I sit the sundial in the middle and keep water in the bath and it is surrounded by a number of planters, usually full of petunias and when in full flower it looks great! In a good year the petunias hang right to the ground. Here is a pic taken a few years ago.
