The Flower Man Can

By: Allie Reid

If the Candy Man can, then surely the Flower Man can, right?  One man's trash is another man's treasure.  I don't think I've ever seen that phrase be more true that it was at The Flower Man's House.  This man owns a house and he took that phrase very and I mean very literal!  He had junk, or should I say art, covering his whole house and yard.  Much of it was painted all different colors of the rainbow.  Not only was it painted crazy colors, but pieces from one piece of art would be attached to a different piece rather than where they were originally.


Personally, I think that it's funny that we would consider this art.  I'm not saying it's not, just interesting how we don't consider other things art.  If this is art, maybe even my whole house is art!  I guess the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, isn't it?  The owner of this house has probably gotten many complaints for his "junk" everywhere, but hey, it's his house!  He is free to do whatever he pleases.  That should be how everyone is.  All power to him for being brave enough to become an attraction because of his artistic home.  I'm sure The Flower Man has a good sense of humor, since some of his art is a tad bit funny looking.  It's always fun to see how others express their love for different things!  This man obviously loves art and chose to display it all over his property!
