Photo detail

This April 19, 2009 photo taken in a private garden in rural Belgium shows an antique birdbath being used to focus attention on an array of blooming bulbs. Garden antiques can be made of wicker, metal or stone and range from pergolas to fountains, outdoor furniture to gates. Adding antique collectibles to the landscape blends gardening with history. It can be richly rewarding. (Dean Fosdick via AP)
