Fun! Thanks for sharing.

Imaginative, creative, witty, well observed and well executed modern art, imo.

Most of the time I would agree - but in this case I think it is highly creative and pokes a little fun at us obsessive collectors. It made me laugh!

It certainly beats an exhibit I saw in a gallery earlier this year, which comprised 12 potted "cacti in a row", increasing in height from one end to the other, and occupying the whole floor space of the room. I very much doubt that the artist grew the plants or even knew anything about them. After a brief, disdainful glance at the explanatory (?) label, I pointed out to the curator that the artist couldn't even get the title of it right, as three of them were Euphorbias!

Collection mainly of cacti, though interested in a much wider variety of plants than I can accommodate!

Oh I don't know, at least you could cuddle one of these, you know what they say - Absinthe maketh the heart grow fonder.
