For the first time in three years, the deer have bypassed my yard and allowed the day lily buds to open up. These are old tubers. I dug then out of my mother's yard in 1990 and moved them here. Heaven only knows how long she had them. I relocated then a couple of times until they finally rested outside my kitchen window.
I saw this picture on Pinterest:
I wanted rusty circles I couldn't find anything like this collection online, so I am assuming that this grouping is homemade. Well, I can do homemade, too.
I found 3/8" steel rings in assorted sizes on https://customironworks.com/ . I found 3/8" square steel rods in 48" lengths on https://www.metalsdepot.com/. I went to Metal Specialties of New Jersey, LLC. located in Eastampton to have the circles welded to the rods.
Here is my yard art:

| I have eleven posts with circles in six different diameters. |
Here is the layout. The rings are at different heights. The various heights were determined mostly by the tree roots I encountered below the surface.
I think pulmonaria plants would do well here in the shade, and the deer would leave them alone because they have fuzzy leaves. Any suggestions?
