Now THESE are cool!
Hey James, can you make gardens look like these???  Mosaiculture Exhibition in Montreal Once every three years, there is an international competition in horticultural sculpture, called "mosaiculture," in a major city in the world. This year it is Montreal . This is not topiary but rather creating sculptures out of living plants. The greatest horticulturists in the world, from 20 different countries, submitted plans a year in advance. Steel armatures were then created to support the works (some 40 feet high); they were then wrapped in steel mesh and filled with dirt and moss and watering hoses. Then they ordered 3 million plants of different shades of green and brown and tan, and these were grown in greenhouses all over Quebec . In late May, these horticulturists came to Montreal and planted all of their plants in the forms at the Montreal Botanic Gardens, and they have been standing for three months now. There were 50 major sculptures along a path two miles long.

That was cool. I didn't know such a thing was going on.
I did see Edward though and he could do hair too.

Yes. Talented. Reminded me of the Rose Bowl parade in Pasadena, CA. Although those are flowers and not meant to last the whole summer like these are.

Hey James, can you make gardens look like these???
I wish..those are incredible! The nearest I've seen around here is a 6' high hedge with the name 'HUGHES' 3' high in relief..I suspect that's in case they forget where they live after 3 bottles of Buckfast

Hi,
Very pretty and clever too!
I've seen a couple of these, maybe not as attractive, and well done, as these that appear quite professional, but still ... really good!
As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
