{HEAR - SEE - SPEAK NO EVIL}

Our tiled patio (see link below post) in front of the Rose Suite, also displays these cute German Wackelzwerge or Wobbly Dwarfs as they move in the wind or by touching. We got them from our German 'Son' and family. Besides being cute, they also convey an age-old moral message of: HEAR - SEE - SPEAK NO EVIL.
Does any of you have dwarfs or other statues in the garden?
This trio of Wackelzwerge - dwarfs, is glued onto the retainer wall.
HEAR - SEE - SPEAK NO EVIL
YES, I hear you...!
Wearing my Escada military style dress...
The retainer wall also holds this planter with trailing yellow plants. I have no idea what they are... anyone out there with a name for them?
Behind the yellow flowers is our Jasminum Nitidum or Royal Jasmine. Below this post there is a linkfrom a previous post I did about them. 
Jasminum Nitidum 'Royal Jasmine' detail.
Wishing you a lovely Sunday!

  8. The yellow plant is Lysimachia nummularia - common name Creeping Jenny. Have you noticed that is has squarish stems?

  10. I like your outfit very much!
    Collette's model (first picture in my new post) actually reminded me of you, I don't know why. :)

  11. "See, hear, speak no evil" - that's a message that you really should think carefully about.
    The poem on my blog is about June 1 is the first of 100 summer days. Time flies and "tomorrow will soon be yesterday"
    Love

  12. Nee, bij ons geen Kabouters in de tuin! Mijn man haat ze, waarom weet ik ook niet, maar hij krijgt ze natuurlijk zo af en toe extra kado, maar op de een of andere manier sneubelen die altijd....ra ra hoe kann dat...
    Lieve groet,

  16. Dearest Mariette, I love those little people on your wall. Great proverb for all of us to remember. You look so pretty on your patio. So sorry, I have no idea as to the name of the yellow flower. Your Jasmine is fabulous.
    I pray you and Pieter have a wonderful week, Ginger

  17. Dear Mariette,

    How cute the Dwarfs are and I love the message they convey.
    At home we always had on the mantlepiece three little brass monkeys, that told the same message.
    You look great out in your dress and love your pretty flowers.

    Have a happy week
    Hugs
    Carolyn

  20. Liebe Mariette,
    deine Zwerge sind lustig. Hier sieht man kaum noch Gartenzwerge, aber ich erinnere mich, dass sie in meiner Kinderzeit ein fester Bestandteil deutscher Gärten waren. Ich habe sie damals immer bestaunt. Deine gelbe Pflanze heißt hier Pfennigkraut, den botanischen Namen hast du ja schon bekommen. Sie wächst wuchernd rund um meinen Teich und macht nur Freude, weil sie alles bedeckt und Unkraut unterdrückt. Und wenn sie blüht, ist es ein gelber Teppich. Dein Jasmin sieht auch wunderschön aus.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

  24. Hello Mariette,

    Those dwarf figurines sure are cute! You look so very lovely in the photograph. My, such stunning petals on the Royal Jasmine blooms and the yellow trailing vines in the planter are beautiful.

    Wishing you a day filled with joy!

  25. Dear Mariette

  26. I like the dress you are wearing. Don't think I've seen jasmine flowers with spiky petals like that. We got the small Indian jasmine here but doesn't survive in the heat unfortunately. I've never seen the hear/speak/see no evil in dwarfs before. Very cute! And that trailing plant is beautiful. Have a great day. Tammy
