I am not typically a big fan of things like this (that is baubles shoved in with the plants) but this combo of textural plants and glass sculpture so nicely and interestingly elevate each other that I am perhaps reconsidering…at least for this one instance.

I see what you mean, but on the other hand the combination of vertical elements and acid colors among those sweeping, mellow plantings is jarring to me.
I love the glass – especially the plant-like form. But the photo is already busy – many colors and forms jammed together, without organizing lines or repetition. I would love them more in a patch of gold and red heuchera or coleus, tucked along a side yard to make you look. It is a small scale focal point, and needs a smaller frame.
