Ricinus Fountain

A striking garden fountain based on the Ricinus (castor oil) plant, with its dramatic spiky leaves. The many-fingered copper leaves, with their scalloped edges, are hand cut and beaten to shape. With a gently curved stem and branches, the whole fountain has a pleasing powerful shape. Water drips from the tips of all the leaves, falling ito little pools of water in each leaf on the way down to the pond below. This makes a beautiful and complex gentle splashing sound. Each stream of droplets catches the light.
