The Watering Can

 The giant watering can still stands in the city of Staunton. I was not able to identify it's flowers this year, as we had to drive past so fast.





I also passed these beautiful deep red Hibiscus.

The hibiscus are beautiful. I looked up the watering can. Perplexity says, "The Watering Can thus stands out among Staunton’s many icons as a symbol of creativity, community engagement, and the welcoming character for which the town is known." It sounds like a great place!

That is one giant watering can. You wouldn't need to refill with one that size.

This is the cutest watering can. And....such a gorgeous color of hibiscus. I don't think I've ever seen a hibiscus this color before. I love all the neat things that you come across...

That giant watering can is delightful. And what a striking color the hibiscus are. You know, that was my mom's favorite color to wear. Love the water quote. There's something so serene and calm about water trickling from the river, brooks, and waterfalls.
