Return with a Shrubbery

Ladew, in Maryland,  is considered the 'most outstanding' topiary garden in North America, and one of 10 incredible topiary gardens around the world.   I think the (Monty Python) Knight would have definitely passed if he'd returned with this one - all those peaks and rows in formation. The picture below was a topiary found in Niagara-on-the-Lake at the beginning of August - a delight of whimsy.
