Better Homes & Gardens' illustrated design for a deer-proof garden is soft, fuzzy and amoeba-like. (They suggest allium and daffodils.) How else could an illustrator paint a bird's eye view of foliage successfully? I'd like to see this image made into a 3-D stuffed decorative pillow. Image source: bhg.com (print article)

Luigi Colani's Rotor House is an awesomely self-contained 6 x 6 meter pod. With rotating bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, you could live in a tiny space sans issue. I think I would trip in the dark trying to enter the bathroom. I also love the how the house is stackable. Image source: designboom.com

May 2008 I discovered this massive plant called GUNNERA. It has MONUMENTAL leaves, and four foot span is not uncommon. I found these at the gracious Potshed Garden in Grayland, Washington.

Maidenhair ferns are my favorite delicate plant. These are watered by Multnomah Falls' mist (Oregon).

I discovered this gem through the NY Times' ARTISANAL TREASURES with Stephen Burks This South African Terracotta Mud CHANDELIER is sold through (amaridianusa.com) Its organic design creates a luxurious dripping effect. So DIVINE! Image source: amaridianusa.com
