Lovely Flowers Emerged on These Tall Buildings…

With brick, glass, metal, and concrete everywhere the eye can see, urban landscapes can lack color and soul. Internationally-acclaimed artist Mona Caron creates massive colorful murals of plants that decorate the gray walls of buildings in cities all over the world, adding a splash of natural beauty to the urban blandness of cities. 

And Caron’s choice of specimens may surprise you. Within the framework of her ongoing Weeds series, Caron painted a 6-stories-tall mural of blooming milkweed in Denver, a cluster of blooming balsamroots in Walnut Creek, California, and other murals depicting vegetation in Switzerland, Spain, and Taiwan. The artist explains that there is an inherent beauty in these resilient plants we call weeds. Having admired her lovely murals, we clearly see the appeal of these understated plants...
