JUNIPERUS SQUAMATA 'BLUE CARPET' TOPIARY

I got quite a surprise when visiting the RHS garden centre at Harlow Carr the other day.  I saw these strange but architecturally interesting plants.  I suppose you would call it topiary although they did have a bonsai look about them.  They are actually Junipers:  Juniperus squamanta 'Blue Carpet'.  They were very expensive at over £40 for this size.  Larger ones were about £75.
