The Outer Sunset

While walking home from Safeway today I noticed that some of my neighbors succulents were in heat so I took some pictures.

If I was in charge of designing a futuristic alien type city and wanted it to feel more organic than Lando’s cloud city of Bespin or the Ewoks Endor village, I would base my blueprints off of succulents in heat. They have these great towers and then there’s all this detail in the head of the flower as it starts to bloom.
