Most of what you see is Clematis. There is a small rose bush at the bottom, but it does not bloom well. Taken by Edgar

the opening may appear small, but the arch was about 15 feet in the air.
New Smyrna Sugar Mill Ruins (also known as the Cruger and DePeyster Sugar Mill)
Under the century old oaks, among pines and a palmetto thicket lie old cast iron vats, a sugar press and iron lever that was once part of the steam-powered machinery.
Moss and ferns now cover much of the foundations and walls of Sugar Mill Ruins, 600 Mission Drive, New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and its age is silently testified to by the size of the large live oak tree that grows in the sugar drying room. Beautiful arched doorways, the curing room, the cane crushing machinery room, where the "walking beam" of the steam engine was located, wells that supplied the engine with water, three of the five cooking kettles, the storage room, and a cane press that was mule driven can still be seen.
One of sixteen sugar plantations built between New Smyrna and St. Augustine, in the 1830s, Sugar Mill supplied molasses needed to make rum and refined sugar. The sugar cane was planted in January or February, with the harvest taking place in October, if drought, fires, hurricanes and Indians didn't intervene.
Sugar cane was mashed between large rotating iron cylinders and the juice was used, along with wood, as fuel to fire the furnaces. The juice from the crushed cane was piped into the cooking kettles, starting with the largest one, which was furthest from the fire, and was hand dipped from one kettle to the next until it ended up as syrup in the last one.
If sugar was desired the syrup was transferred to large vats where sugar crystals formed as it cooled. After cooling and hardening this wet sugar was carried to the curing room and packed in wooden barrels and stored for 20 - 30 days to allow the molasses to drain into vats dug into the floor.
The Seminole Indians also lived in the area and resented the intrusion of settlers. The mill was a lucrative business until the entire plantation was destroyed during the Seminole War of 1835.
At 1 a.m. on December 28, 1835, the Indians plundered and burned plantations, destroyed the Sugar Mill and set fire to all the buildings in New Smyrna. Residents fled and made their way across the river to Colonel Dummett's house, Mt. Pleasant, and then to Bulow plantation in Ormond Beach. The sugar industry in the area was never revived. In 1893 New York stock broker Washington E. Connor purchased 10 acres, including the Sugar Mill site for $400, as a birthday gift for his wife, historian Jeannette Thurber Connor. The ruins were conveyed by the Connors to the Florida State Park Service in 1929.
Once thought to be the remains of an old Spanish Mission, the mill was actually constructed in 1830 by William Kemble for William DePeyster and Eliza and Henry Cruger of New York. The land was purchased from the estate of Ambrose Hull and several thousand acres were planted in sugar cane. The mill was operated by Thomas Stamps, a South Carolina sugar planter.
Today it is a State Historic Site, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a short nature trail that wanders through a palmetto hammock, providing a view of what Florida looked like to settlers in the 1880s. Grill and picnic tables are available for those who would like to enjoy a picnic lunch while exploring this piece of New Smyrna's past. Admission is free.

As I was removing the dust spots from this picture I noticed one spot was the resident hummingbird flying by. I left it in place. It's in the top centre.
The People's Gas Pavilion in Chicago seems to effortlessly coax light from its surroundings and then bends, warps, twists, and scatters it all about. The unique construction delivers tranquility to this small oasis in the heart of Lincoln Park.

i think I should add some chicken wire to the back of that trellis to make it a bit easier for that clematis to climb.
All done and the binding will be in the gray shadow fabric. I think the shadow on the trellis really adds a lot to the look :) Since the "trellis" is all one fabric, this top could be made very quickly by strip piecing the blocks and then applying the diagonal "trellis" all in one piece. However, I made it with individual quarter Log Cabin blocks because I'm much better at getting my rows lined up well if I have the reference points from each block to match up when sewing the diagonal seams.

2023 Treasure Hunt 66 Trellis.
A piece of trellis on top of a fence panel that the weight of the snow in December pushed it over a bit, it was on the list to fix back. This morning I found it was down further, there is a large cat that visits the garden and likes climbing fences and sheds, so looks like he probably tried to climb it and it did not take his weight.
I got rather carried away playing with shots of the pea trellis ......Hope you enjoy them. Thank you for stopping by have a lovely evening and a good day.

Thanks for the visit, favs, comments, invites and awards. *.*..Much appreciated ..!!!
wes designed this trellis which will be in other places in the garden. here it will extend to the left and cover the utility meters and a/c unit. it will go to about where the watering can is. the weeds will be replaced by gravel and stone to finish the pathway from the patio around the back of the house. then we'll have (hopefully) a couple or few planter boxes for a flowering dogwood and some tomatoes and maybe one more maple tree... can't have too many of those, now can we?
i also want to have a covered swing back in this area which is shady in the evenings. and a water feature. this would be a good reading spot for sure... if only we could plow the field faster!
The dutch word 'FIETS' means Bicycle, but the 'F' was never there. What's left is 'IETS', meaning 'something'

I made this trellis out of a bundle of willow sticks I bought from Ikea. Grew peas up it in the early stages, then the raspberries and loganberries I had planted along the base took over.
