metro-retro botanicals
My brother John told me that, if I were shopping for succulents (which I am), that I should drive over to Big Red Sun in East Austin, because they have the best selection in town (which they do). Above is a wall hanging in an assortment of unique pieces termed "retro botanicals," variations on (what is probably their signature) Midcentury Modern bonzai-kitsch.
While it wasn't wise to bring the children (the place reminds me of someone's home--someone single--the way totems and art mingle in sterile grace with the contrived botanicals) it was wise to bring the camera. What I couldn't spend five seconds examining was more easily photographed so that I might instead watch the heathens, who were climbing all over everything.
