Yea or Nay?


Ok, what do we think of this inventive and unusual planter? 4"W x 4.75"L x 4.75"H- just so you get an idea of it...

There's some other highly suspicious planters/ash trays available too...
I dunno how I feel about it. For $10 I LOVE it, for $130... I just don't know...

A HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS? Something to laugh at and leave behind, in my opinion.

Was the photo yours? Very cleverly done.

Nay.....not rustic enough for me. :-)

kate-
I can't take ANY photo to save my life...

KimT said...

Yea. I really kind of like it. Not that I'd pay $130 for it. But that doesn't stop me from liking it (just like all the other things I won't actually buy).

nay.

At first I thought that was an actual midrise apartment building with some sort of tremendous overgrowth.

I'm torn between a yay and a nay, and feeling non-committal, so ... yeah.

On another note, I can't believe I'm just finding your blog now. It seems like we have a lot in common!

Amanda Thomsen said...

H Petal- naw, you're blog is well-designed and thought-out and stuff, we have nooooooooothing in common!

Muddy Mary said...

Yep, I like it--as a concept. It needs to grow something specific to it, not that Bertolonia or whatever. Now what might that be?

Some Juncus spiralis wold look hot...

For about one-quarter of the price, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Of course, I'd put a Euphorbia flanaganii or a big Nepenthes in it: I'm still fond of the original ending to the musical version of Little Shop of Horrors, where the giant Audrey 2s are taking over New York and overgrowing the Statue of Liberty.

(Of course, what's sad is that I'm working on something roughly similar for a plant display in a converted Eighties-era console television. I'm rather fond of simulated ruins, and it's what I get for far, far too many Land of the Lost reruns when I was a preteen. Sigh.)
