Topiary Dancing Bears spotted in Houston, TX 2016-07-27 - River Oaks Plant House, Houston, TX - Photo by Jane Aaron. Jane Aaron, an Adair County Master Gardener now a resident of Lexington, KY, where she volunteers to answer Fayette County gardener's questions, is fascinated with topiary forms - like these these two dancing bears she spotted in Houston, TX. She's trying to create some of her own, on a smaller scale, for her garden in Lexington. These topiaries are stuffed with sphagnum moss, with ever green plants providing the "fur." While dancing bears would be appropriate as Canadian Tour Bus magnets in her hometown of Columbia, she's looking at, perhaps a rabbit. So far, she hasn't had much luck getting a wire mess form for a bunny. Any readers have ideas? Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Her name is Shortbus, photo. I found out she was dropped her off in the Knifley area about two weeks ago, roughly 8 miles from the Green River Bait and Grocery in Egypt, Adair County, KY.
