Ordinary garden vegetables have a long history as serious subjects in Chinese painting, part of a tradition of vegetable and fruit studies that stretches back to at least the 13th century. Cabbage in particular carries a wordplay-driven meaning: its Chinese name, bai cai, sounds like a phrase for a hundred kinds of wealth, making the humble vegetable a popular symbol of prosperity when paired with garden flowers in a single composition. Shown together, flowers and vegetables blur the line between fine art and kitchen garden, celebrating everyday abundance alongside ornamental beauty.

It has completely changed how the primary bedroom feels. Everything that makes Flowers and Vegetables special survived the reproduction. Every person who has been in the house has asked where it came from. Genuinely delighted with it.
My daughter picked this out and she has better taste than I do. My friends recognized Flowers and Vegetables right away, which surprised me. It suits an old brick house better than anything I found at the stores around Atlanta. Good value even at full price. 🙂
