Topiaries
Halloween has passed and Daylight savings time has ended at here in the Northeast it's dark by 4:30. And cold. And the leaves are quickly turning brown and falling down. We haven't yet had a hard freeze, but once that happens, we're done with pretty blooming things until the crocuses start peeping up out of the dirt. It's one reason that we like our evergreens here - at least something has a bit of color outside the window. I am particularly taken with with topiary gardens and harbor a strong desire to grow (sculpt?) one some day. Here are a few inspiration photos...

They are all so wonderful! I can't pick which one I like best. The elephant family is awesome. Thank you!

I admire them! They are living sculpture. Wouldn't want to maintain them though, but I'm glad some people do and love it.
So fun! Love the elephants and the bears. I even like the somewhat plain double ball topiaries found at the garden supply stores!
The image you lost the source of is from Longwood Gardens, in PA.
Amazing garden designs! Such cute designs. Thanks for sharing!
What an awesome collection. I am a sucker for a good animal topiary!
