When it comes to plants, and really all living things that we’re made to take care of, we usually just focus on keeping the thing alive, rather than worrying about how it looks, or whether we can morph it into the shape of something it is not. That’s why we’re in admiration of the sculptural gardeners responsible for the creations featured in Super Tremendous’s listicle of 25 Amazing Plant Sculptures, our favorite of which is this Big Bird topiary. We’re a little surprised some of our favorites, included after the jump, didn’t make the list.

And, of course, Jeff Koons’s Giant Flower Puppy
