Those elephants, that’s art. I admire the person who had the skill and the patience to create them.
That elephant photo is perfection! I absolutely adore elephants! :)
WOW, when I’m a billionaire lottery I’ll totally have those elephants in my front yard, hahah.
Funny that you should mention topiary as I bought my first one (a beautiful globe of a bay tree on a long slender stem) this week for outside my kitchen door in the new farmhouse… and as I type this my husband is outside, with his shiny new secatuers, cloud-pruning the unruly Catoneaster!! Not something he has ever been inclined to do before!! Perhaps it is our age (approaching 40, ahem!!)
I’ve had dreadful luck with topiaries so far. We had 10 beautifully lining the front of our house and in the first year they were all killed by frosts. Of the second batch, only 50% have survived so far. Something is telling me that my ‘green thumb’ is completely non existent and that perhaps I should wait until I am ‘an old lady’ to buy any more of them. Perhaps then I might be a slightly more wise and experienced gardener!! I’m sure you would have better luck with them than me though!
I love those spiral ones and I’d love to get a couple for the front door.

I love the elephants. Wish I had a yard big enough, and then the talent to make them.
Oh my, I just laughed out loud and could not stop. Those elephants are beyond hilarious! Especially when scrolling down from the notably calm and simple image above… hahaha
I absolutely want those elephants in my yard. Yes, they would look out of place, but they’re fantastic!
Oooh if I had million dollars I would pay someone to fill my yard with those elephants! They are great…
Edward Scissors Hands could do it for me…
Well said

how wonderfully edward scissorhands it would be to have one on your front lawn.
very pretty.
you should get a topiary!
WOW ! Really accurate sculptures too… lovely pics
I love topiares. they are kind of art, aren’t they? but for appartment maybe only a simple form as sphere would fit pretty, i think :)
I’d like to sit on one of those elephant topiaries for a photo session. :) I’ve never seen anything like it!
Those elephants are amazing! That would take forever to do, but they look wonderful. There is something so magical about topiary, I think.
i want one of those topiaries that are on Meet The Robinsons, in particular the teapot and teacup!! I actually just started a little blog of my own, so if anyone could have a look and leave a comment/feedback, I would really appreciate it! http://inwonderlandmeredith.blogspot.com/
cheers!
Ooo, fantastic. I LOVE the elephants!
Ok, I am still young, because I don’t have topiary dreams, but I would LOVE those elephants!! ;) So great!
I love topiaries! I didn’t know they were consider ” old lady” I guess I’m an old lady too!
i gave my mom an adorable mini azalea topiary for mother’s day this year – she has the green thumb, and it’s very obvious that i (in my new york apartment) do not.
I would kill to have an elephant topiary in my yard.
I LOVE THESE! I need a green elephant!
The elephant topiaries are awesome! Especially the little baby!
Haha! Those elephants are so cute! And quite humorous! =)
The animal ones remind me (unfortunately) of “The Shining”.
I read too much.
Love the elephants, they are my fave!
Love the elephant. I would want a giraffe topiary. Perhaps with a little “tuft” of hair on the top of his head.
LOVE!
Oh those elephants are so sweet looking!
Those elephant topiaries remind me of Edward Scissorhands for some reason lol! I love those spiral ones and I’d love to get a couple for the front door.
my mother and i tried to make a topiary once out of a rosemary shrub. it sounded good but it takes years to fill out, then clipping and manicuring and pruning all over to get a totally filled out effect. some people are so good at it, its quite the art form, and only for the patient!
I’m obsessed with all things plants lately! I must be getting old as well!
yes! I love the elephants. Of course, I think I’m obligated to like anything elephant related.
I love topiaries. When we were running around in England, we saw so many, especially at old castles. And those elephants! That’s some skill!!
Topiaries always make me thnk of Edward Scissorhands and I love Johnny Depp!
I would give anything for those elephants in my front yard (and if I had a front yard, it would be even better!)!!!!
I love topiaries. Especially big, tall ones. It makes me feel like I am standing by a life-sized dolls house.
elephant topiaries? amazing!
I especially like the leafless tusks.
Wow, those elephants are completely amazing!
Pretty! Whoever has the kind of patience to make elephants…well, I respect the hell out of them.
