I'd a lot rather see fake plants than neglected plants: obviously so (kind of over-the-top) or realistic enough to pass for real. I'm thinking of fern bars where the hanging ferns look like they were last watered during the Eisenhower administration.

Since I love galvanized metal and rust, I imagine I would have enjoyed it. I know what you mean about the single decorating life and the wedded version. My husband is completely involved and so we always have to agree. Now and then I override him but usually on smaller things. And usually he discovers he likes whatever it was I was pushing for. The garden is the same.

Probably the time of year when I get a little burned out on plants, but maybe because that's where my mind is these days? <br /><br />Also, I've never seen an artificial cactus or other succulent in person, so I'm intrigued.

Also, they're surrounded by some pretty prickly plants. These are two really fab places. I have no eye for design, but I can appreciate it and other people's talent for it when I see it.

I love looking at interior stuff as well. Design is design, right? As always, the gorgeous plants readily available and hardy in California have me salivating and I love the birdbaths planted with succulents. Artificial plants/flowers are so much better now than in the old days of the plastic flower or even the earlier silk things. My heart is warming to them.
