    I bet the garden is spooky at night! (But I like the 'cottage'! LOL)

      I think it was in the best shape. Some of the other animals were hard to identify

    Pretty CJ! The lion looks really good!! I love crepe myrtle... they take very little care and are pretty drought tolerant. Love seeing your photos! Hugs! deb

      I think the lion and the teddy bears were the best.

    I don't quite understand the semblance of these. Is it they are formed from whatever looks best? Seems the animals should be together, and the rest should be elsewhere. I thought it was a bit of hodge podge, although I did appreciate your lovely photos.

      The plant used to create the topiaries are boxwood. Some of them have a wire frame that the branches are trained to go over. If all the animals were together, it would be just a mass of green. The gardens surrounding the topiaries give a pop of color and are also a maze to wander through

    Henry looks great. I like the big chair too. That's not something you usually see, is it?

    Heinrich says it´s too cold, and, oh, hi Leo!
    It must be great fun to be a gardener there!
    The pineapple :-)
    Thank you, this was fun.
