          Thank you @wiseowl, but I don't think you'll get away with it in the competition, there's a signature in the bottom, left corner that doesn't look like yours. :heehee:

          I wonder how something like that is put together? :)

              They could have used Dog Roses, Dog Fennel, Dogs tooth grass, dog weed, dog violets, dogtooth pea, but not the wet dog plant [Illicium floridanum]:heehee:

                That was my thought as well, e.g. what the construction is underneath the flowers...a wire mesh frame?

                  I've been scouting Google @rosebay and this is what I've come up with......

                  Jeff Koons Puppy

                  Quote.....

                  "Puppy" A 12.4 metre tall topiary sculpture, was based upon a West Highland Terrier. The artwork is composed of 70000 blooming flowers which grow from the steel and soil structure. The stainless steel framework holds over 25 tons of soil watered by an internal irrigation system. To help construct this, 3D computer modelling was used to assist in constructing a stainless steel frame, covered in hand-molded wire mesh which was then lined with soil and fitted with an internal irrigation system.

                      Not a West Highland Armandii. I had one for thirteen years and she was perfectly behaved.......until she came across a cat or hedgehog. :heehee:

                        I'd be more concerned about what sort of disease is multicoloured like that! [​IMG]

                          Too much time in the sun I think Rosebay, West Highlands are white coated and pink skinned. :)
