Blush Pink Tahitian Gardenia

Blush Pink Tahitian GardeniaI bought a ceramic flower last week?? medium sized, pink, and suspiciously gardenia like. It had a keyhole on the back, which is how I knew it wasn?? t meant to rest casually on a shelf, like some unassuming vase. No, this flower was to be wall mounted, a piece of ceramic art designed to become an integral part of my living room?? s atmosphere. It was, I realized, a statement. The kind of wall art decor that whispers, ?? I have taste,?? but shouts, ??

Not only was I supporting a local artist

which sounds much better than "it's a fake plant that doesn't know it's fake

'I'm floral

wondering if this was what passed for sophistication these days

she presented me with what can only be described as a ceramic flower on steroids

' Cheers to floral refreshment

if they weren't too busy being actual plants

" but that's precisely its charm

really into oversized wall decorations that confused dinner guests

Each petal was meticulously crafted

plastic monstrosities that looked like they'd been salvaged from a defunct miniature golf course

one ceramic flower at a time
