These are my latest acquisitions for the side garden (my largest garden). My husband taught World History for 32 years, so he insisted on Greek Gods/Godesses. These were the two we could afford as well as both agree on:

Dione, first consort of Zeus and mother of Aphrodite:


Persephone, Goddess of Spring, Fertility and Agriculture, scattering rose petals. Daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was kidnapped by Hades to be his wife and Queen in the Underworld.

These are so pretty and thank you for telling us their names and history

Thank you, Vicki.

Beautiful! I also love the blue birdbath in the background.

Thank you, @Maplesugar. I bought it locally to replace the one the fencing guys busted at my last house while replacing the shared section (shared cost) of our rear cedar fence the neighbors contracted. I was partly at fault I suppose, as I never thought to move it before work began. But they clearly saw it there when they removed the old fencing yet didn't suggest I move it to a safe place. You don't expect big hulking fence guys to let go of a 6' fully-constructed fence panel either. Not sure such a thing had ever happened to them before. They clearly told the boss what happened, as the company called me the next morning to apologize and provide a $100 "allowance" to replace my broken birdbath.

Oh - that had to be hard loss to deal with. As they work with fencing everyday I would have thought they would suggest moving anything near the fence. Well, at least they admitted responsibility. And your replacement birdbath is beautiful! You have a good end result and a beautiful garden.
