Mio ranocchio bravo is capable of great stillness. He is probably not aware that, squatting on the inorganic rim of the barrel, he looks like a schematic drawing for “frog.”

On his inspiration I went to the Tractor Supply store in Weaverville and bought great tubs, one plastic and one aluminum (or steel, maybe) to increase my water gardens. I already dig a foundation for the plastic one, with more labor than was advisable on a hot summer day.

The last and biggest of the angel trumpets blooms a deep orangey-gold.
