Here in Arizona, we don't have traditional wooden fences. We have six-foot high, concrete block walls that surround our backyards. These bright, solid barriers beg for some decoration, and homeowners have started to take heed. Many are painting those walls in vibrant shades of red or blue, allowing the plant life in front of them to literally "pop" into view. People are also decorating with mosaics and murals.

We think these three hand-crafted iron pieces make a unique statement on your block walls. The Yucca fits perfectly with our desert scenery, the Cattails piece is right at home in a landscape with a water feature, and the Daisies are just plain happy.

The pictures are small, but these iron pieces are an impressive size and built to last. They are on display now at the Southwest Gardener shop on 15th Ave. in Phoenix. The folks who make these pieces have also sent us some square shapes with beautiful leaf patterns - ginko, maple and vines. They would make a perfect niche piece or a nice trio when hung together.
