Sorticulture Garden festival *pics*

Sarracenia freak
Went to an annual local garden festival yesterday that i very much enjoy. Lots of awesome artwork and some great plants... This year did not disappoint..

One of my favorite local artists, a metal worker by the name of "Abraxas Crows", brought some great new things this year.. Including this 4ft tall metal gargoyle that had glass eyes and a glass orb that glowed when plugged in at night. SOOO COOOL! He also filled me in on his new uber project.. He's building an erect flying dragon with a 25ft wing span, and that will breath fire. :spazz:

But what he's really known for are his birds.. This raven was new, and about the size of a bald eagle..
