The Humanization of Flowers





Statice
A few days ago we found a bag of googly eyes here at the shop.  You know, the little white plastic disks with the smaller black disk trapped under clear lens that jiggles and shakes when they move about.

Carnations




 
 
Sunflower
 
No idea why we have them… we’re not making a bunch of pipe cleaner animals or anything here!

So we started sticking them on all kinds of silly things, our water cooler, a lamp, and then flowers… that’s when things got ridiculous.
Antherium

 
 
 
Before we knew it we had eyebombed our own store. From roses to liatris, almost every flower in the shop had been humanized.
 
Hydrangea
 
We set up our video camera and about 45 minutes of silly unscripted floral puppetry ensued.




Pom Pon




We always thought our crew was a bit wacky, but now we know for sure!
 


Heliconia
 
 
 
 
Some of our "performance" was slightly reminiscent of the talking flowers of Alice in Wonderland (without the lovely singing), but most was just absurd.


Calla Lilies
 
 
 
 
  
Iris
We’d like to say that no flowers were harmed in the making of this film, but that would be a lie. Our laughing orange lily didn’t make it (we didn't even get a picture of the poor guy)…
 
while twirling he lost 3 of his 6 petals, but he shall be forever immortalized in the archives of You Tube.


Rainbow Rose


 
 
And to think this was all part of a day’s work ;-P
