Thanks! That's a picture from my first trip to WDW (2001). It was May and so the garden stuff was still there. Topiaries everywhere! I actually bought a small Mickey topiary there. I killed the vine (Oklahoma gets brutally hot!), but I still have the frame. I have intentions of growing a new vine but haven't gotten around to it. Meanwhile, though ... two years ago, I found online a set of large wire frames for topiaries and I bought the Pluto one. I read some books on gardening in Oklahoma and on good plants to use for topiaries. I found a bush that is recommended for both and it's leaves are green and yellow, which seemed too perfect! I think the frame will be filled out in another year or two -- assuming I don't kill the bushes when I move to Cincinnati. I have consulted a friend who is trained in landscape architecture and we think we have a plan for moving the whole thing. Fingers crossed!
I guess I strayed way off the intro topic! :-)
Anyway, thanks for the welcome message. I'm nervous and excited and trying to figure out where I fit into this community. I really do appreciate having a space like this!!
