-mcdonalds. ooohh!!...pretty flowers, happy clown, and a nice pink playpin! what fun! um...yea. if mcdonalds, or for that matter burger king, wendys, taco bell, ad nauseam...was forced to make it's landscapaing indicative of whats being served inside, then make that flower a beef-fat clogged artery and that swing set adolescent obesity and Welcome To Our Restaurant!
-exxon/mobil. maybe instead of tulips and daisies, they should put a drenched-in-oil, suffocating duck in that flower pot. to be even more informative, an accompanying sign might be helpful: "i still got some family left. let em die like me and fill it up, super!"
-kabloom. corporate flowers? yea, alright.
to be as helpful as possible, here is a step by step documentary of a real life capering. this poor victim of corporate landscaping, courtesy of our friends and family at exxon/mobil, just screamed "take me baby!!"
-take the flower.
-leave a note. be creative, intelligent and polite. let them know why you took the flower, what you intend to do with it, and why you think it will be in a better place. leave this website address so they can see how this wasnt an isolated incident and all the world's corporate greenery is in dire jeopardy. tell them the harold and maude revolution is a force to be reckoned with and there is no turning back. the wheels have been set in motion. don't look back.
take your adopted botany and set it free. give it a new home. put it somewhere deserving of the beauty it embodies... somewhere neglected, somewhere forgotten.
this is all a further extension of the flower caper philosophy. take a minute and think about the environment you live in, and all the beautiful things...things beautiful on the inside...that we pass by every day with no more than a passing thought. do your best to rip down the facades that get constructed every day by forgetful humans:
-remind someone of the beauty of birth and death, of the never ending circle of life. transfer some radiance to dilapidated, forgotten, or lonely headstones.
-give some decorative energy to those who society has seemed to fogotten (or neglected?) the most: old folks homes, urban projects, homeless shelters, etc.
-mommy's got spinal menangitis, cheer her up. bring your new found friend to a hospital, there are plenty of people there who could use a daffodil or two.
the possibilties are endless! be creative, respectful, and ALWAYS document your capering! Let us know about it too. Email us and tell us all about it!!!
