The South Carolina Festival of Flowers - Part 2

More topiary trees!

Here is Harley the Labrador.
Milkshake the cow.

The mermaid, Lindsay, is one of my favorites. She stands quite tall and impressive.
King Kong is here too.
The lion (Ari) is handsome with the baby (Jibari) off to the side.
Gertie and Gidget.
A family of panda bears.
Barbie-Q the pig.
Ali the alligator is a bit camouflaged.
The frog, Pink Princess, is a fountain.
Baron, the Stately Horse.

The dolphins below are a little camouflaged with the foliage.
A centennial celebration cake.

Of course a display like this would not be complete without a "smile" creation for photo ops.
Being an annual event, I am sure we will come back next year. 

The uptown of Greenwood is was beautifully planned out, filled with businesses, shops and eateries. A great town to visit.

Each piece is sponsored. The topiaries and flowers are maintained by the City of Greenwood, Public Works Department and Horticulture Department.

The South Carolina Festival of Flowers - Part 1

The South Carolina Festival of Flowers takes place annually for the entire month of June in Greenwood.

Milak is the mother elephant.
Her baby is Horton.

We were very impressed with the topiary display which is currently throughout Greenwood's uptown area.

Here is Dino Dude the T-Rex.

The side of him was quite impressive with a wide variety of plants.
The festival includes a whimsical display of topiary trees dotting the town.


Sweet Caroline the butterfly.
This college town is home to Lander University. Below is their mascot, a bearcat. I guess that is a cross between a bear and a cat?!
The Gamecock is the mascot of the University of South Carolina.

My favorite is the Jeep.
 Wouldn't it be fun to hop into this vehicle?

Here is Emmett the Citadel Bulldog.
A duck and turtle habitat.

Flora the flamingo.

The monkey faces are priceless!
Stanley the Stork.
Kasasa the tiger.

Bubbles the seahorse.

The printable map provides the names as well as further information on what each topiary is composed of.

Each piece is sponsored. The topiaries and flowers are maintained by the City of Greenwood, Public Works Department and Horticulture Department.
