Peach Mocha Cornflower

Peach Mocha CornflowerWhen my sister asked me what to hang on a kitchen wall, I briefly considered suggesting a framed poster of our family's most spectacular cooking disasters. But then I remembered I was trying to be helpful, not passive aggressive, so I pitched her the idea of a ceramic wall flower instead. "It's modern artwork," I explained, as if I hadn't just learned the term from a late night YouTube rabbit hole. "Very chic wall art decor." The flower in question

when has 'inedible' ever been a criterion for great art

So we called it Half Moon

there's something endearing about its aggressive delicacy

I imagined it swinging from my living room wall

ever the trendsetter

you've got yourself a fragrant bestie who's both high-maintenance and worth it

"It's all the rage in Wall Art Decor circles

perfectly layered like my sister's passive-aggressive comments at Thanksgiving dinner

and repotting

because 25 years later he turned into a Vase

This pearl colored behemoth

and I found myself staring at my bare walls
