Topiary of sorts

Thank you Larry!
Not sure.
I used to have my sandwiches here from time to time, back in 2010, when I first came to Madrid and they were the same, only in better condition.

Jenny,
Erhard,
Larry,
Many thanks!

Hmmm...I've seen better. I think some of our gardeners could teach them a thing or two. Hope that doesn't sound too rude. Have to say, it's better than I could do ;-)

Maybe it's a training ground for their topiarists?
I have to say, the rest of these gardens are very nicely done but not particularly photogenic, as much too formal, to my eyes. Even so, the park is very pleasant and welcome as it is situated slap bang in the centre of Madrid.

Thank you, Ulrich!

Strange shape !!!!

Very! Thank you Marie-cleire!

Topiary, or not topiary................that is the question.

The answer?
'It's topiary, Jim ... But not as we know it!'

Marie-claire,
Keith,
Thank you both!

cammino,
Jens,
Thank you both!

Topiary with windows:-)

I think the idea was good, then they ran out of money at the start of the latest recession some years ago!

I think they were trying for a green HFF Andy!! I wonder if the 'windows' are intentionally different

Who knows, Carol!
But see my replies to Gudrun and Rosa!

A hard job for the gardener!
