These plant sculptures are awesome and beautiful, looking like something from The Wizard of Oz. Mr. Fryar also "trims" the bushes in his neighbor's yards. The address of 145 is on his mailbox. But the topiary sculpture in his front yard is 165. I suspect he owns a double lot.
Mr. Fryar must have some very tall ladders to reach the tops of the trees.

The only difference I can find between Pearl Fryer's Topiary Garden and examples of Dementia Concretia is the medium. Because he works in plants, everyone loves his sweeping, twisted, otherworldly shapes. The weird metal sculptures are kept to a minimum, and only the driveway shows the true nature of the disease.
If you decide to fill your yard with bizarre sculptures, remember that neighbors like plants but hate concrete.
