By the "pond"

We have a little "pond," or "water feature," as they call it on HGTV. It is a replica of a famous Belgian statue, the manneke piss. Guess where the water shoots out.

I grow viney plants to cover the plumbing and make him look more natural. In the front pot is some ivy, in the back one, creeping jenny. They already hide the back plumbing; eventually the creeping jenny can cover the pipes from the water. This creeping jenny is some years old. I cut it back every fall, and it comes back every summer.
