Firefly Solar Path Lights
Ooooo, are these not very cool? Handblown, with amber lamps, these path lights have no wires. They "recharge" through the day to provide eight hours of light at night and come in several different styles: red swirl, blue finial and fuchsia finial besides the original firefly.
The first link gives a description of the calla lily light; the second shows Solar/Energy Savers' whole line of path lights. If you're interested in buying these for yourself or as a gift, be sure to Google the name and look at the wide variations in price. Being glass, they obviously are not appropriate for well-traveled paths in gardens where children play, but even in family gardens could be used as accent lights and in pots as long as they receive adequate sun. Prices I saw were under $100 for two.
