Topiary flamingos have flocked to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. Topiaries are trees or bushes that have been cut into shapes. The flamingos have been built into six different poses, filled with pink begonias. They have to be watered by hand, fertilized weekly, and trimmed every three weeks.
There are 70 flamingos spread throughout the Nato Vista, Friendship Pond and around the Perennial Garden, which have been "adopted" and named by the community. Be on the lookout for adult topiary classes and children's programing about plant life cycles and care.
And to end, the funniest part of our trip was that we had a bird who literally stalked us. I shooed him
off the stroller twice, and he came back, went into the cup holder and stole the entire package of graham crackers! While the baby was sitting in the stroller!
