I was so excited I almost left this comment at the bottom of the courtyard post- quickly realizing however you had replied to me here! I dream of 3 of these, one planted with a climbing vine similar to what you've done, the others left barren. All placed seemingly at random in our lower lawn area (a grassy, woodsy setting). I must get my thinking cap on and create these!
