May, 18th, 2017: Art Installation Milan

[xoxoxoBruce]

Milan, Italy’s design week produced this unique installation. 2,000 Roses, Carnations, and lilies, plus thyme, sage, rosemary,
lavender, and mint, then perfumes like fresh cut grass, and metal bells/chimes, overwhelm the senses.



The flowers are planted in potatoes giving them structure and nutrients to keep them alive, at least for design week. Must have
faced the same problems as building a float for the Rose Bowl Parade. There’s 180 vertical lines, 10 m(33 ft) high,
spaced 20 cm(8 in) apart, across the 35m(115ft) façade.



This is nice but it certainly won’t replace the present attempts to greenify cities with walls of plants and trees.
Those are expected to last more than a week.
