I'm spending a few weeks with the grands in MN. One of our favorite sights to see here is the Arboretum. It's lovely and changes with the seasons. We went to enjoy the outdoor sculpture garden and were surprised by a fused glass flowers exhibit.
The installation was very specific. They put the glass flowers that looked like specific plants right next to those live specimens. It was fascinating to see what a glass artist could make to resemble a pretty plant.
I was quite taken with the wisteria.
The water lilies were floating next to real water lilies and both were gorgeous in the sunshine.
The sunflowers stood tall on copper tubing.
The poppies were glorious and there were so many shapes and sizes.
The grapes were stationed right beside an arbor of grapes that covers a walkway. These were ripe and purple, the real grapes were tiny, immature and green.
The fir tree was stately and its iron trunk looked almost lifelike.
This art installation really worked with the live plants. Both added to the visual attraction and made for a wonderful trip to the Arboretum!
