How about a bike ride on a summer day?
It's a stationary bike..
it's baskets full of posies:-)
(click photos to enlarge)
I got this cute old bike free!
a few years back.
and turned it into a whimsical planter
The front basket holds this once pink bird house
I made many years ago.
Little tree frogs often take up residence
in birdhouses around the garden.
The little pink house has it's own bee wind chime:-)
The back baskets flowers are starting to bloom...
The baskets are stuffed with moss,
a creeping succulent plant binds it all together...
Pretty Pink Petunias and Catmint,
a favorite combo of mine...
Bright blue hydrangeas (endless summer)
make a happy backdrop...
Johnny Jump ups by the petals...
and more climbing the old spokes...
Grab the handle bars and come for a ride:-)

Just love it! Such a terrific idea ... just adore the little violas on the ground.
Hi Bella :) What a terrific idea putting an old bike INTO the garden and making it become PART of the garden :) Now instead of being some old ugly thing to be thrown away, it is now a wonderful thing of beauty. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
Have a great week, and see ya for "Tea" Tuesday's Parties.
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Hi Bella,
This is such a clever idea to make use of an old bicycle!!! I love it!
It's so pretty with all the flowers winding around the wheel spokes and spilling out of baskets. I might have to try finding an old bicycle now!
More fun stuff in your garden! I missed your fish yesterday--That's a trip! Glad you didn't drop your camera! Ha! We have Oregon weather the last couple of days. Well okay, just the overcast and drizzle, NOT the cold. Pretty pleasant change. See you for Tea--JQ
I love old bikes, I have one in the front of my house, but the plants dry up so fast!! I love how they are in full bloom in yours!!!
Dearest Bella,
You have such a fertile looking soil that no matter how, all your flowers do well! Be it biking or else...

You always have fantastic garden decorating ideas. I love the little birdhouse. And the flowers, of course, are gorgeous.
Hey Bella! Come over and have a conversation with me on my BLUE post! I have a question for you there--Q
That is just so cute! I love the little birdhouse in the basket.
How cute is that!!
Love,

Adorable! It looks perfect as a planter. I have always wanted an old bike to do this with. I've looked a few times online. Love this!
