For the last week the south coast of British Columbia has been basking in a heat wave that resembles that of July and August: we’ve had temperatures in the high 20s to low 30s. (That’s roughly between 80 to 90° F.) So for the last week I’ve spent much time in my garden in the evening with a hose, trying to keep my trees, shrubs, and plants alive.
Now I have some nice looking trees and shrubs, but I don’t have any topiary. And I certainly don’t have anything that looks like this amazing saxophone, which is located in Mons, the capital city of the Belgian province of Hainaut.

Given that Adolphe Sax was Belgian, it seems only fitting that there be a saxophone-shaped shrub in front of the bandstand in the Grand Place of Mons. Don’t you think?
…this is just my blog. My “real” website is www.bassic-sax.info. If you’re looking for sax info, you should check it out too.There’s lots there!
I wonder what the Knights-Who-Say-Ni would do if presented with this shrubbery!
I had no idea what you were talking about. I had to look it up and found out it was a Monty Python reference. No wonder it went right over my head, I’ve never seen a Monty Python movie… Ever. Go figure… :scratch:
