Burst and Bloom


Growing cacti and succulents is a surprisingly beneficial hobby for me. It's fun and relaxing, and it's a great way to connect with other plant collectors. Cacti are remarkably tough and low in maintenance. Yes, they look a bit weird, but they produce beautiful flowers. In this remarkable time-lapse video, Florida-based photographer Greg Krehel captures different varieties of Echinopsis cactus flowers blooming. The process happens overnight, and the flowers last for just one day, with a peak period transpiring for only an hour or two.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
