Please post pictures when you're done! ^^

topiaries make me think of alice in wonderland. I think these were canterbury bells and sweet peas in the singing garden.

Yes Sweet peas! THANKS
For some reason my mind wanted to tell me it was an 'iris' and I knew it wasnt right.
Mmm... wonder if I do some lattice on the back for bells of some form or morning glories.

Speaking of teacup planters, you could also make teacup bird feeders.

Huh... I definitely saw the purple flower playing the "harp" as an iris.

I have to say that I couldn't remember that scene so I Googled it!

Link buster??

I believe if you just put a link in the comments it gets deleted, that was my way of getting around it! :D

Not exactly deleted: it is "screened," with only the person who posted the comment containing the link and the mods able to see it, and only the mods can release it. Er...at least that's how I understand it.
For practical purposes, you're correct, because it may as well get deleted.

That is an awesome idea! I want to see pictures. :)

Don't forget to use a couple of teacup planters!

Something in a mixed color ground cover in a patch with a sign that says ,"don't step on the momeraths". Statuary would be awesome,large chess pieces? Make plant labels that look like cards from a deck? A big whimsical stump like object with some sort of simulated hole? It could be a dark swirly mosaic-ed stepping stone? A giant mushroom to sit on? I probably have hundreds more ideas... I named one of my daughters Alice ... It's not like I'm entirely obsessed... Probably.
