The arbor looks exactly like it was meant for this spot. Don't you love the height that arbors provide? Years ago during my dilettante days, I couldn't put my finger on what was missing from my garden. After much contemplation as well as research, it dawned on me. The vertical element... Anyway, it looks like you've got a pergola and patio in the back area, a good balance.

I have made a few arbors but nothing that detailed. It does fit the surroundings very well too.Randyhttp://rlephoto.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-84403365514100832492010-01-06T20:55:36.000-07:002010-01-06T20:55:36.000-07:00Who would have thought gardeners (and cyberfriends...Who would have thought gardeners (and cyberfriends) from Australia and South Dakota would have so much in common? I currently have smoke bushes and love them but am watching with alarm as one grows so big and not looking so great. I am also a great fan of garden rooms, next to the house and in the garden, as many as possible. I have dogwood, a deciduous one. I can't have hydrangas because they're too thirsty. But they were in the garden many years ago. I also had a kiwi vine for many years but got rid of it. I used to have quite a lot of fruit which the birds would eat but eventually they (boy and girl) got weak and unhappy due to lack of water, so they were removed to make room for other plants that would be happy in this tough (but loving) environment. Now, instead of hops like you, i have a grapevine that seems very happy. Lots of grapes but they won't probably won't get ripe enough for us to eat. So instead I enjoy watching the birds enjoy them.catminthttp://diaryofasuburbangardenernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-62401819996877542922010-01-06T22:40:15.000-07:002010-01-06T22:40:15.000-07:00Gloria!

I love this plant, but I try to move it to the remote parts of the garden. I posted about it long ago. It comes back every year and laughs at me...Tatyanahttp://tanyasgarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-35735092028384635372010-01-07T08:33:50.000-07:002010-01-07T08:33:50.000-07:00What a beautiful arbor!

I plan to show all the arbors.

The wedding photo sounds wonderful, I'll bet the arbor was not the star in that one, however, but someone dressed in white to match. :-)<br>FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7435730379910980357.post-38696302398566569832010-01-08T09:02:28.000-07:002010-01-08T09:02:28.000-07:00I love the look an arbor brings to the garden.

The smoke tree next to it is great too.tinanoreply@blogger.com
