it cracks me up when poodles look like poodles. http://www.grizzlyrun.com/Files/Images/Image_Gallery/toy_poodle.jpg
I think they look like pompons. At first when I saw your tweet, thought you were talking about the band – 80′s memories!
The Poodle look is a Japanese aesthetic thing.
West Los Angeles has one one every other block or more. It is a reflection of the “Ikebana” floral arrangement style. We got Pom-Pom-Poodle bushes all over town!
Is it bad that I kind of like them? haha Oh and I love that photo :)
Just lovely – I did actually see a topiary poodle once – if only I’d photographed it! This would be it’s big moment!
I love this kind of mid-century topiary! Check out my identification guide here (scroll down): http://printerpiemaker.blogspot.com/search/label/topiaries
They remind me of Dr Seuss trees.
:) Yeah,it does seem like something the flintstones would do now that you mention it….too funny! :)
We are puzzled by the sight of these “sculpted” plants. Seems to occur mostly in front of the Marina style homes in the sunset district. To each his own I suppose – though I still can’t help saying “poor plant” when I see them! :)
Those were super popular when I was a little kid in SF – we ever so briefly lived in the outer Sunset and they were all over. I called them lollipop trees :)
this photo makes me giggle. heehee
