The Shemer Art Center is a small arts education center and museum near the foot of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix. It is a welcoming place with a large, sculpture-filled yard. Part of that yard includes sturdy flowers that will remain in bloom even in the heat of summer!
Ah, the things you can do to make metal bloom!

I love your blooming flowers! At first I thought they were real flowers and was thinking Gosh they look like dead leaves, lol.
Tricked ya! Who would think of using rusty steel to create something as delicate as a flower?!
I love a sculpture garden; I love metalwork. Your photos show such awesome detail. Love these pics!
I wish I had gotten the name of the artist who did them – they are very clever. There’s so much depth to them that they were interesting to shoot. (Besides being pretty.)
Gorgeous! Love the detail in the second shot.
I hadn’t realized until I linked to your site this week that I’d sort of had a flower theme going on with you. . . I’m glad you liked them.
