If you are fed up with colourful flowers in window boxes why not using cactus? I saw this decoration in Überlingen, a city on Lake Constance with some remarkable old buildings.

The Überlingen Council Hall, built during the Renaissance, features a remarkable cycle of limewood figures carved by master Jakob Ruß. These sculptures depict the hierarchy of the imperial estates, from princes to peasants, offering an impression of the than power structure.
