Epcot - Topiaries and Teapots

Lady and the Tramp are soooo cute!

The topiaries that dominate the park during the Flower and Garden Festival are simply *amazing. How do they do it?

Well, as we were wondering aloud about it, a night worker who was taking his father to the park in a wheelchair overheard our conversation and told us that they have 15 topiaries in process for each character! Imagine that.

Some of the ways they use plant material are very creative. Here is a closeup of the tail of a Lion King figure--I think Mufasa.

Erica snapped this monster's photo--
and this one.

These towers of flowers are everywhere.

The characters transform at night--is this Cinderella?
