Giant flowers
This coming Tuesday, artist Will Ryman will launch an installation called The Roses on Park Avenue -- they're 38 giant pink and red roses, along with beetles, bees, ladybugs, aphids and thorns (which the New York Times says will "stir a sense of foreboding"). Twenty petals will also be scattered on the ground, six of which will double as lawn chairs. The flowers will stay up through May as "the artist's love letter to New York City." Can't wait to see it!
P.S. Remember these waterfalls?

I just read about this...I was relieved to see they'll be up until May. I'll be up to NYC by then & will pop by...really fun. I wonder what Toby will think? There were so many comments yesterday that I didn't leave one. But there was much squealing here about his pix. Who has a right to be that cute?!

"The artist's love letter to New York City." How cool is that? I hope I can make it up there to see the installation!
Those are amazing! I cannot wait to see them. I especially love the fact that the petals on the ground will double as lawn chairs. Brilliant.
Oh wow, they look so beautiful! Really brighten up the place, as flowers do! ;D

Oh I love this idea- especially with this treacherous winter. It's -20 below windchill in Chicago right now!
This is amazing!! It makes me want to plan a trip to NYC just to see the exhibit. I love roses.

Oh my, I love this! Let's hope I will be able to make it to NYC by May to see this! (and sit in one of those flower petal lawn chairs ;)
Ohh, it's really nice !! In Lyon, France, we have a huge bunch of colorful flowers near to the biggest square of the town ! So, even during rainy days, we have some colors !!
It's the first time I comment on your blog, that I really like !! I spend hours to read your archives !
we were there for the waterfalls, they were so pretty. please post pics when the flowers are there... i like living vicariously through New York pics, wish i was there, just not now when its frigid!
Defintely some Winter eye candy. This reminds me of the cows we had in Chicago a while ago ... love it!

Wow! Well, I normally make it into NYC once or twice a month (spending the day there tomorrow, so I'll just miss the flowers!). I'll have to be on the lookout for them over the next few months. :-)
I love this. My sister (a freelance floral designer) sent me this article a few days ago. Oh that magical moments of New York. Love that.
that is sensational! i LOVE it! maybe we'll have to get on a plane and explore New York just to see those beautiful flowers!
How pretty! I love installation art! it's so fun! =)
Pretty! Those would definitely make me smile...

ah this is so wonderful! thank you for sharing! i did see the waterfalls. did you see the statues surrounding madison square park - the event horizon project? i loved getting to show that to friends while the visited the city. the roses will be a cool new place to take my friends!
I just found your blog via Style Files and just wanted to say I love your posts. Im a swedish interior design blogger so I appreciate influences from all over the world. Thanks for sharing. Ill put you in my list of favourites!
I swear, New York is so rad. The only thing I can see them doing here in the desert is a giant scorpion or something (which makes me want to DIE).
Also, thanks for the sweet comment yesterday! We're very excited :) I have zero idea what I'm doing, but that's part of the fun right?? Eek!
really a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!1 :D kiss J.

Thank You for sharing this! It looks incredible! I wish I could see it in person.
How amazing! It looks like a fairytale come to life!
So cool! I hope I make it to NY to see this.
oh lovely I hope I get to see it.
This is why I wish I lived in NYC! Or atleast within driving distance. soo jealous! How fun would it be to hunt down all 38 petals? I'm going to live through you on this one, if you spot any on your daily errands please take a picture!
These are fascinating! Wish I was in NYC now! Enjoy. Have a great weekend. xoxo
oh man... most of the time i don't miss living in the city too much, but when things like this happen it makes me long for it again. this just doesn't happen down south!
Whoa! Perfect opportunity to plan another trip to the city. My husband has NEVER been (the horror!) & what better time? Thanks so much for sharing.
I also like the springtime feel it will give. This stretch of winter always seems to be the dreariest.

How fantastic! This sounds amazing! I wish I could go see the roses. ~Val
Fabulous! I hope we'll be able to make a trip to NYC to see 'em!
what an exciting project! wish i could go see the live installations in NYC.
a love letter to new york city, i love it!
Love those! The waterfalls were installed during my first trip to the city, and I instantly fell in love (with them & the city)! Oh and not forgetting when the Met had Koons on the roof ~swoon~
that sounds amazing! oh, how i miss nyc.
It's definitely time for me to visit New York. I wish the artist would come and do something like that for Chicago!
A sense of foreboding? Wha?? Lawn chairs? Huh?
He must be a genius because I don't really get it.
I remember the waterfalls and I also remember the Gates (shudder)
These look so awesome! I was in NYC when the waterfalls were up a few years back... made the boat ride through the river that much more amazing!
