Jack, It is in the Registry: http://sundials.org/index.php/component/sundials/onedial/283 Unfortunately, there's no photo and little description. Any member who can get to Brookgreen Gardens could help. The photo in the wikimedia entry could probably be used in the registry - it's available under a GNU Free Documentation License.
