...wholesale chains, Bailey's has partnered with scientists at the University of Minnesota and the University of Georgia to design hybrid plants that would eventually take the place of invasive species. The company already sells hybrids that flower longer and smaller (to accommodate cramped outdoor spaces) and have richer color, but it hopes to create new breeds engineered for sterility that way, the garden blooms won't bud anywhere but in your backyard...
...began scaling the craggy flanks of Tonelagee Mountain, the haze lifted momentarily to expose a breathtaking spectrum of color and texture: tracts of lavender heather, russet and burnt-gold rushes, somber rock, downy moss, a thousand shades, of green rushing streams, fern-limned pools, and glistening earth and slag.

...While Tenmyouya's work is troubling, Machida's demented and deformed dolls are probably among the most disturbing images you will see from neo-nihonga artists today-as well as the most accomplished.

Although the palette was predominantly black, Lacroix wowed the crowd with some pretty amazing color combinations - the kind that only he can get away with in an haute couture collection. My favorite was a long draped chiffon dress shaded in plum, praline, and lime and topped off by violet fur sleeves. Another Lacroix signature - the mixing of rough and fine materials - appeared early...
