Occasionally I see one for holiday time that looks ok, but overall these aren't something I 'get'!

Anyone else not a fan of topiaries? Anyone like them and care to share why or pictures of pretty ones you have?

@Mominohio  I bought four of these H209830 and they are beautiful!

20-25 years ago I had a couple that I made from faux ivy. I liked them for a while, they were pretty, but I grew tired of them and like everything else, donated them.

I'll see your topiaries and raise you cloches, birdcages, empty vases, lanterns, et al.  None of it makes sense to me.

For some weird reason, they give me the creeps LOL.

If you don't like lanterns, cliches, etc. what do you like?

We use paintings, photography, metal sculptures, crystal pieces and floral arrangements.

Have you seen japanese moss balls?  Seem very popular on pinterest.

If you are talking about fake/faux topiaries, I agree. But then, I don't like anything fake in my decor.

I love the fresh herb or ivy topiaries, and used a lot of them in my house over the years. The only one that I still have is rosemary topiary in my kitchen.

Here is a photo of it - I tried to make it look more "vintage", and to hang it on the wall, it didn't make to print yet

I prefer Bonzai over topiary. Bonzai keeps the natural shape of the tree rather than shaping it onto something else.
