Urn on plinth.
If Garden Design were parsed like football stats, urn/plinth stats are touchdowns.
.
I adore the team formations for every touchdown urn/plinth. Above, backdrop hedge, lollipop standard sentinels, lawn line defense at a 90% run, contrasted textures/colors, zone coverage for heights, even the fake out play drawing eyes to the sky.
.
This urn is a Heisman Trophy. Once & done. No maintenance, planting, watering......beautiful 24/7 for decades.
.
Mostly, the touchdown urn/plinth is partially executed. The teamwork backing urn/plinth isn't played.
.
In metaphor, urn/plinth stories can be told thru: music, ballet, the bible, race car driving.....they're all teamwork.

Love this! The analogy and the photo. Inspiring.
Inspired post.
I feel safe saying that, even though I don't know didley about football.
Love it! Yes, it's perfect...will look good forever. That is why I did big cemet flower filled urns on my front pedestals instead of huge pots that would need to be filled. They look good without me doing a thing to them.
Have a Merry Christmas, Tara....you are always such an inspiration to me!
Profound as always! It is like a tight band...and how moss covers objects just so in humid climates is perhaps how dust or sun-bleaching coats the same objects out here? Low maintenance...
