Cedar hedges are so ubiquitous in Vancouver they rarely merit a second glance. But in the tony neighbourhood of Point Grey, there’s one particular hedge that makes me giggle every time I pass it. And I actually go out of my way to check on it; I keep thinking that sooner or later, it’s going to be removed in the interest of good taste or some such nonsense.
See, the hedge in question is made up of a series of three grouped cedars. One columnar cedar flanked by two smaller, round ones. See where this is going?
Together, these phallic sentinels present a vigorous demonstration of masculinity (said with tongue planted firmly in cheek).
Who lives here? Why have they planted thusly? Is it all a big joke? Do they sit behind their curtains and watch people fall off their bicycles? Is this a Do or a Don’t? I don’t know of any garden magazine that would suggest this arrangement, but you have to admit, it sure is a conversation piece!

OMFG. I place this FIRMLY in the “Don’t” category.
This is hysterical.
Andrea says
OMFG is right. I happen to agree with your Don’t Rating – from a gardening perspective. But perhaps half a point for originality and – dare I say it – balls?

I feel a whole new gardening trend coming into our hypersexed society! Imagine the possibility for ponds and other water features. Thatis funny!
wren says
This is LOL funny – how has it gone unnoticed for so long?
jenn says
I like it, actually. I see butts instead of phalluses, tho. Personal quirk, I am sure.
felicia says
oh, that’s just WRONG!
nelumbo says
That is soooo funny.
