    OMG!  That's brilliant. B3!  Totally inspiring.  Love it.  Love it. Love it.

    Even if they're not actually 'real' topiary but created via the old computer generated graphics, they're absolutely superb!

    I once tried a peacock in topiary and I used to ask everyone who came to the garden what they thought it was.

    Everyone made the same response.

    'It looks like a turkey' they said.

    My OH chopped it's head off.  End of topiary.image

    Yes it's all photoshopped. According to the article, some people refuse to believe it. I expect some people will be inspired to try to produce the real thing on a smaller scale. I want the one with the cats on the wall!

    I had seen those they are really excellent pieces of art.  When she was young my Mum was plucking a headless chicken that jumped off her lap and ran off.  She really didn't like birds much after that.
