From the perspective of the neat and tidy Midwest, the Van Horn cemetery can appear wild and unkempt. But there's a freedom of creative thought and an unbridled display of color there I find very appealing.
Consider the mixing of very brightly colored artificial flowers with natural plantings. Now that spring is here, this interplay is pretty hard to ignore! (click on the individual pictures for a closer view)
Top: the purple in the foreground is real, everything else is artificial. (There will be another blog entry about the candy canes and celebrating the holidays with those passed!)
Second: the roses on the left are real, everything near the marker is artificial.
Third: artificial poinsettia blossom stuck on the needle sharp point of an agave. (love that!)
Fourth: same grave, but different real agave plant, decorated with artificial purple poppy and green leaves!
Last: same grave, showing poinsettia-festooned agave surrounded by real purple iris!
