Abstract
A decorative marker which may be used to identify plants in a garden comprises a wire form encircling and capturing a decorative object such that the object can still be viewed through the wire form. A panel for receiving identifying indicia is connected to the wire form, and an elongated ground stake is connected to the wire form or panel, allowing the stake to be planted in the earth with the entrapped object and panel visible above ground. In the preferred embodiment, the decorative object is a glass sphere containing a glow-in-the-dark material such as photoluminescent, fluorescent or phosphorescent pigments or particles. The wire form preferably spirals around the globe.
