Imitation

 

I slowly strolled through the museum

admiring the flower arrangements that

had been designed to compliment some

of the artwork. Still life, portrait, landscape,

paired with bouquets of roses and exotic

bird of paradise and common daisies.

I stood beside some peach-colored dahlias

trying to interpret the floral artist’s vision

when I heard a whisper coming from

the middle of a brass planter. “There is

no painting that can duplicate us. You should

go outside to the garden to find true beauty.”
