Art In Bloom Festival 🧵 Continued

Inspiration: Leo
Primary floral materials: pussy willow, roses, sunflowers, calla lilies, amaranthus, ranunculus, chrysanthemums

🧑‍🎨 From the Designers: Leo blazes, fire born, sun ruled, radiating warmth, passion, loyalty, and royalty. Pussy Willow, crowned with fur-soft catkins, embodies resilience and enduring strength; bold; devoted sunflowers turn their golden faces to follow the sun.

😍 My take: This was the first installation/sculpture connected with the secondary 'Zodiac' theme, and was spectacular, taller than the viewers. I had to take a pic of the booty because, if you look closely, there are lettered strands woven in, with words like "energetic" and "confident".

Art In Bloom Festival 🧵 Continued

Inspiration: Woman Seated on a Bench, Greek, Attic or Boeotian

Primary floral materials: roses, carnations, grasses, eryngium, scabiosa pods, hanging amaranthus

Context: Tanagra figurines were cherished cast clay possessions that must have hinted at their owner's inevitable death, often accompanying them into the grave. Mutely, they show us a bit about how they lived 2400 years ago.

You have to appreciate the difficulty in interpreting in flowers, a figurine that stood no taller than 6in/15cm. Look closely to see interesting details.

#OTD The Spirit of Democracy (Woodsfield, Ohio) shared an exciting #Botanical #Discovery:

"A distinguished #Botanist has found that by simply #Soaking the #Stems of #CutFlowers in a weak #Dye solution, their colors can be altered at will without the #Perfume and #Freshness being destroyed."
