We love the flowers in our garden, and found that deer do, too. After they ate our oriental lilies, stargazer lilies, gladioli, pansies, tulips, and other tasty flowers, we decided it was time to call in the experts at Colorblends® Wholesale Flowerbulbs located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. They have a wonderful and wide variety of bulbs, many of which are deer and rodent resistant. There is nothing as gratifying as looking out the window and seeing your garden bursting with beautiful …

Sculpture has always captivated our imaginations. Unlike other art forms, sculpting in stone is unforgiving, there is no going back once you take the chisel and hammer to the stone. One wrong hit and the stone can crack, however when done with care and great skill, the results are astounding.
