Are there any kinds of topiaries made from blossoming plants (I am painting a topiary on a wall, wanted to have flowers in it and wanted to have an accurate plant)?
Thank you, Cher

Cher,
Serissa (tiny white or lavender blossoms) and Rosemary (bluish to purple blooms)are two common topiary plants. Perhaps one of these would work for you.

I have made topiaries from tender fuchsias, flowering maple,and helitrope. I see alot of helitrope standards in the last couple of years.

Yes, I second the fuschia. Here's a early picture of mine. Right now they're in full bloom. They're kind of top heavy so you have to keep them staked. I also saw a picture of a mock orange topiary that I'm going to try next.

Here is a link that might be useful: fuscia

I have turned a Mayflower Viburnam into an umbrella shape after 5 years of careful pruning. It stands 12 feet tall X 10 ft wide. The branching is extremely interesting and the flowers are a beautiful pale pink with a heavenly perfume.
I wonder if anyone else here has ever tried viburnam for topiary?

Sue, I would love to see a picture of your Mayflower Viburnam if you can post it. Sounds exquisite!!!
