The best walls in my opinion are flower walls.  They enhance and supplement the natural environment, while providing aesthetic privacy.  They’re constantly transforming into more complex tangles of color, texture, and symbiosis before your eyes.  They attract new wildlife, the best kind of neighbors, and screen out the less pleasant human varieties.  It’s an ever-changing living tableau each morning.

I used to be a plant snob, until I became “poor”.  Now I’m an equal opportunity flower employer.  I appreciate the most common, humble, inconspicuous plants and how they play a part beautifying and enriching the environment.  I still avoid exotic invasives, favoring more native species which improve natural habitats.  But there’s nothing like a wall of sunflowers, black-eyed susans, morning glories, cosmos, and flowering vines, covered with goldfinches, hummers, and a variety of beneficial pollinators.

Even more humble, but still photogenic as well as useful, are squash blossoms, peppers, and their marigold companions.  They all have their place.  Now, if I could only see all humans that way, but that will take more squinting.
