Title: A Unique Addition For your Yard
Post by: Teresa on August 08, 2008, 05:59:03 AM
I was searching some catalog sites and came across this. I have a feeling someone on this site may like it. I may, eventually, if I ever get my back yard put together!

This link is for a page or two earlier that shows one of the finished ones in a different breed.

Not to mention, topiaries are not cheap!  The last time I priced one, it was a train engine topiary (would have been for my dad, at his train-collecting height) and it was $138, so this one on sale, 12% off, at $67, is a pretty good deal 25 years later!

Oh, yeah, but. . .
This isn't acutally topiary - it's a wire frame for you to grow ivy all over and PRETEND it's topiary!

True topiary is usually made with privit hedge, which is a small leafed hedge you trim into dachshund shape.  Good luck on THAT one!

I have a close friend who loves all dogs, but especially Greaat Pyrennes, Samoyeds, and American Eskimo (Spitz) dogs.  Long, white fur in three sizes - medium, large, and loveseat-sized!  Once we were walking together and a beautiful tricked-out standard poodle walked by in full show-ring hair, complete with bows.  Shula brightly pointed and said, "Look, Karen, it's walking topiary!!"

That makes me laugh even now!
