Dancing Hippos and Silk Plants
I love going to Disney World, and one of my favorite things about the Disney property is the foliage and topiaries. I’m amazed that trees, bushes, and shrubs can be molded, clipped, and trimmed into dancing hippos, teacups, and lions with bushy manes.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the horticulture skills nor the time and space necessary to nurture my love of topiaries. Luckily, silk plants aren’t just dusty ferns and bad table settings anymore, they are beautiful and realistic looking trees, plants, hanging baskets, and topiaries that are a real art form! Silk plants are now made from the highest quality materials and are often mistaken for a real live plant.
www.artificialplantsandtrees.com doesn’t carry dancing hipps or teacups, but they do carry classic topiary styles that can displayed inside and outside and mix beautifully with real landscaping without all the maintenance! Silk plants obviously don’t require watering, weeding, fertilizing, or trimming so you look like a gardening star without the farmers tan.
If you love the outdoors, but suffer from allergies, artificial plants are a lifesaver. They bring the beauty of flowers and greenery to your home without the itchy eyes and runny nose. Not to mention that they can be enjoyed year round. There’s no seasons when it comes to silk plants!
Great blog. I will buy some silk flowers now.
Cindy - thanks for stopping by!
