Hi there, I saw a picture last week on Instagram that triggered a bit of an obsessive compulsion to find something………myrtle topiaries. I can thank (or not) Loi from Tone? on Tone <\/a>as being the culprit behind this unexpected case of topiary-mania and yes that is a word (at least as of today).<\/p>\n

So here is the picture in question…..<\/p>\n

Now<\/em> can you see how this might have induced an involuntary reaction to get my hands on my own little crop of myrtle topiaries! So appts. got canceled, meals pushed aside (a blessing),? priorities shifted, design work put on a brief pause and my mission immediately began.<\/p>\n

I found that surprisingly they are not as easy to find as looking up your nearest local? nursery. I ended up speaking to the “granddaddy” of myrtle topiary growers in Canada who clearly understood my incessant desire to find some of my own and kindly shared information with me on a grower within my geographical range that he could “put me in touch with” and that is exactly what he did.<\/p>\n

This guy understood that topiary-mania needs urgent attention! So fast forward a few days I was put in touch with another dealer, who was kind enough to meet with me despite the fact that I was not going to be buying a truckload of topiaries. I did however buy a carload:) Enter Greg the myrtle topiary whisperer. I happily loaded up the car, quest accomplished!<\/p>\n

So I am very very happy that I too have my own little brigade of myrtle topiaries, and as luck would have it I also scored some gorgeous orchids and one of my favorite fall plants, white azalea topiaries!<\/p>\n

I came home and started to panic about what I was going to do with all of these topiaries, how quickly could I dispense them around the house to look like they had always been there so my hubs would not walk in wondering if I have lost my mind, feeling like he lives inside a nursery (bad enough he feels like we live in a blue and white porcelain factory)!<\/p>\n

\"Loi<\/a><\/p>\n

Loi clearly looks like he knows what he is doing….I can only hope that I can follow suit!<\/p>\n

So here are some highlights from my day, very impromptu pictures and eventually all of these wonderful little plants will find their final resting place in various areas of my house…..now if I can only swing maintaining them so they continue to look this good for a long long time. Loi.<\/a>..I may be calling on you afterall it is you who started this!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And starting to spread the love throughout my home….imagine I will be playing for a few days:)<\/p>\n

So….now<\/em> can you see what all the fuss is about? One thing I do not have is a shortage of is containers, so I will be busy today continuing to plant my pretty new additions in their appropriate planters.<\/p>\n

I am so in love with them, just need to brush up on how to care for them, was told to never let them dry out and that in warm homes they can require water every 3-4 days. Have any tips? By all means I am all ears!<\/p>\n

Thank you for stopping in and wishing you a fabulous day:)<\/p>\n
