More Flower sculptures and flowers

As promised, here are the rest of the critters from our flower festival. They are an art form all there own.
Our first picture here is an early morning ape. He has his cup of coffee and is holding his newspaper high. The ape is a much improved repeat performer from last year.
This odd fellow is a Bearcat from Lander U (where I earned my BSN). I have never seen one wandering around, except on campus and I suspect that one is a guy in a suit. Oh well, go Bearcats!
This, in case you are not from The South, is a University of South Carolina, USC, Gamecock. There is a lot of rivalry over who supports what football team and this is a Southern favorites. He is about 15 feet tall.
I think this one  is just plain sweet. A flower pony. He is slightly larger than life size.
Once again, this year, the Mama and Baby Elephants are my favorites. The baby is a fountain!
This exotic looking beauty was growing over a fence in Savannah yesterday.

I don't know what this is, I stuck my camera through a fence to take the photo. The ball of flowers is about 8 inches across and grows on the end of a two or three foot long stalk.
Pretty colors,

See the Katydid?
Have a great Monday and enjoy the sunshine!

  2. The 'ball of flowers' is an agapanthus I believe, a South African plant. I've never heard of a Katydid before, I had to google that. Looks like a fun flower festival.

  10. They are ALL beautiful but I have to admit that I like the elephant the best being that I am partial to elephants! I can only imagine how pretty all of these flowers are in person - and the smells have got to be wonderful!

  12. Hi Kat,

    The photos are just beautiful!! I was wondering if you know what the plant titled "pretty colors" is. I've never seen anything like it. It's gorgeous!

    Take care,
    Patty
