One morning while driving past the roundabout at Persiaran Greenhill, I was attracted to some plant sculptures on the roundabout. I didn't have a chance to photograph the sculptures. Last week, we passed by this roundabout again and it was early in the morning with very light traffic.
Hubby stopped the car at the side of the road and I got down to take photos of these plant sculptures. (I just only learnt from my readers that this is called Topiary).
These pictures were taken from different angles.
Stainless steel fencing at the bank.

These are bougainvillea plants and they look like peacocks.
If I am not mistaken, there is the stainless steel fence behind the sculptures.
Great plant sculptures and fence.
Roundabout at Persiaran Greenhill.
Not much traffic in the early morning.

Sheet fencing around fruits & vegetables garden.
Linking to Good Fences.
But the godly shall flourish like palm trees and
grow tall as the cedars of Lebanon.
For they are transplanted into the Lord's own garden
and are under his personal care.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit and be vital and green.
This honors the Lord and exhibits his faithful care.
He is my shelter. There is nothing but goodness in him!
(Psalm 92:12-15, TLB)
That topiary is brilliant, some people are just so clever. Bet it is pretty when all in flower. Have a good day Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. They are so talented!
DeleteGostei destes trabalhos florais.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa 5ª Feira.
Thank you, Francisco. They are indeed beautiful!
DeleteNancy, I like the plant sculptures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phong Hong. I like it too.
DeletePeacocks? :) This kind of sculpture is so hard to maintain. Every week or so, one stray strand would pop up out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteYes, Stacy. I was thinking the same thing too
DeleteI can just imagine a bougainvillea topiary in full bloom...giving some beautiful colours to the peacock:) Thanks for sharing this Nancy. BTW, your hubby is a real treasure, so patient and very cooperative with you:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie. Topiary is a new word for me. If my hubby is not in a rush, he can be a treasure. He will stop and wait for me to take photos.
DeleteLove the topiary peacocks, they have such a charm about them. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mamas. They are beautifully sculpted.
DeleteThey are marvellous, well done to those that care for them to retain the shape, and I see the wires are in place for one of the tails.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Margaret. All praise to those who have contributed to this project.
DeleteHello Nancy, I love the cute peacocks. The topiary sculptures look pretty. Great photos. Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Have a happy Thursday too!
DeleteI love those peacock topiaries. Someone is quite cleaver at shaping those with some type of wires armature. I wonder what kind of plants they use to sculpt these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Have a great day.
Hugs,
JB

DeleteThose plant sculptures bring a touch of whimsy to them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. Have a great day!
DeleteAn imaginative way of decorating the roundabouts. I like the way the peacock tails have been cut to give some open texture. When the topiary sculptures start to flower the display will look lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. I too like the way the tail of the peacocks flow. I will be keeping a lookout to see how the peacocks will turn out when the plants flower.
DeleteI love those sculptures! So very neat.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. Have a lovely day!

DeleteSaw the peacovk yesterday. Ngum ngum the "feather" at the head was flowering. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe best part was the flowering feather on the head and I am waiting to see the flowering tail. Thank for your visit and I hope you are feeling better.
DeleteThose are fantastic plant sculptures, Nancy. The flowers on the head look great, I'll bet once the tails bursts into full bloom it will be even more amazing.
