Actually the photo dosn't really show what animal it is supposed to be but it is really Dino the Dinosaur. I was kinda bored in the Greenhouse so I made it out of an discarded piece of playground equipment using Alternanthera for the body, Echeveria for the eyes, Foxtail Fern for the horns and agave for spikes on the tail.
I have planted around it using some old Dracaena, Arundo Donax from the previous season that I stripped all of the leaves from the stem so that they would sprout small branches giving a bamboo like appearance, Boston ferns and Lantana as a ground cover and colour.
It was time to bring some South to the Great White North and have a little fun with my plantings
