BOTANICAL ART

Though my focus is definitely on bright shops selling colorful design, in honor of the beginning of summer I wanted to showcase the bold outdoors.  We discovered these slightly strange succulent topiaries at the walled garden of the San Diego Botanical Garden. Quirky and fun, they are actually pretty brilliant. Who doesn't like a costume made out of sculptural plants? Playing on floral guitars and wearing hats brimming with succulents, it's quite the festive group.
