Pitlochrie in Bloom

Pitlochrie has recently won the Scotland in Bloom award. Apparently this is a very prestigious happening because they proudly display this fact throughout the town. Additionally, scattered everywhere, are these wonderful "sculptures", mostly Victorian-themed, that double as planters. This Victorian lady is the first of these fine figures that we saw and I couldn't resist the photo opportunity. I wish now that I had photographed Marita Beth next to one so that the size of these wonderful items could be accurately portrayed. Barely a street block could be walked without encountering some Iron Victorian sporting flower pots. Wastrel On. (Listening to: Hurdy Gurdy Man by The Butthole Surfers)
