I LOVE topiaries! I have quite a few of them in all different shapes and sizes. I started them from small 4" pots of ivy many years ago. Here is a wreath shape one I made. I started this with just a couple cuttings of ivy from one of my other topiaries. I put the cuttings in water until the roots formed and then planted them in a pot with a wire hoop-shaped form. It's not a fast process...ivy really doesn't grow all that fast until it's about 2 or 3 years old.
I recently transplanted it in this beautiful urn. You'll never guess where I bought this! Walmart! It's just one of those lightweight faux concrete planters but I thought it looked really nice and pretty close to the real thing ...which I would love to have but can't afford! This one was only $20.I love the handles on the sides!
I added my little cherub with the cracked neck that I bought at the flea market awhile ago. He's so cute, even with a cracked neck!
My big HUGE begonias are blooming. It's still summer here in California. It was in the 90s this past weekend so you won't be seeing any Fall decor here until it cools down a bit a lot!
