#FR10 Milk Teal Tahitian Gardenia

Description
I stumbled upon a ceramic flower at a shop that I’m pretty sure only exists to trick people into thinking they’re cultured. It’s a medium-sized gardenia, teal, with the kind of boldness that only comes from something pretending to be nature. The flower has a keyhole on the back, which means it's meant to be wall mounted. The shop called it wall art decor, but I’m convinced it’s a scam to convince us that things like this belong inside homes, rather than next to the checkout counter of a suburban gift shop.
I thought about it for a while before purchasing it, trying to figure out where it would fit. Maybe the kitchen, where nothing has ever been real anyway? Or in the nursery—because surely a teal gardenia would complement the pastel-themed disaster that is most modern-day nursery art. In the end, I hung it above the couch, and now it’s a strange, slightly sarcastic reminder of how much we’re willing to pay for something that looks like a flower but is more like a reminder that we’ve failed at cultivating taste.
It doesn’t quite belong anywhere, but that’s okay. As wall art decor, it’s found its place in the world—just not the one it thought it would.

Endless Combinations
One might imagine the English Garden ceramic flower collection emerged from some divine intervention, each piece destined to complement another like arranged marriages in a Jane Austen novel. The designers, those smug bastards, eliminated all possibility of aesthetic disaster. What generous gods, taking away the burden of poor taste. But now comes the true hell: drowning in an ocean of endless perfection, where every choice leads to another equally magnificent possibility. Standing there, paralyzed by beauty, cursing those clever devils who removed all traces of ugliness, leaving nothing but an endless maze of flawless combinations.
How to Hang
One discovers these flowers, each bearing a secret: a tiny keyhole nestled in the back, waiting for its destiny. The ritual feels almost predetermined - reaching into that dusty jar of orphaned screws, the ones squirreled away over countless home projects. Those odd bits of metal, collected like precious coins, finally finding their purpose. A quick twist of the drill, and there hangs beauty, supported by hardware whose previous life remains a mystery.
