Where to put the old barn cupolo?

I have the cupolo off the old barn. I would like to put it in a flower garden but don't know where or what to plant by it. It's 6 ft. tall and 5ft. square, all metal. Can I get some ideas?

    After I looked it up to see what it was, my mind was flooded with ideas of repurposing. I can picture it in the middle of a garden with 3 of the 4 sides cut out and a nice bench inside. Stepping stones leading up to the front. The flowers at each corner are multicolored sunflowers or rosebushes. I can also see it intact with a few window boxes attached to the sides and some type of trailing flowers, such as Sweet Alyssum, Ivy Geraniums or Coral Trail. At each corner, a flower with some height - sunflowers, gladiolas, day lilys, rose bushes.

      @Cheryl Markus Reynolds Thank you, I like your idea. It will be going into a shady area.

      @Carol Sunflowers would be pretty but it's going to be in a shady area. I don't think the sunflowers would do good in the shade. I might be changing my mind 5-6 before it's done Thank you for the idea.

    You could plant any kind of trailing vine or flower

    Why not put it atop a wishing well?
