    Your Inner Emo Kid Is Going to Fall Hard for These Goth Plants
    The term “goth plants” isn’t one you’ll see in your average box store garden department. These plants have darker leaves and flowers, deeper and richer colors, and/or other components that are more emo than your run-of-the-mill greenery. This Reddit thread on Colocasia Black Magic led me to the Plant Goths thread, and my interest was officially piqued.

Well, the challenge has shape-shifted away from memes.

    Do you know what a mandrake is? If you’re a botany enthusiast, you probably do. However, if your plant knowledge ends right around “dandelion” and “ivy,” you may not know. It’s a hearty root, but it’s also different from other growing thingamajigs in that it…kind of looks like a human. And if you’re a fan of Harry Potter franchise, you know this more than anyone as to how alive they can seem.

    This Frank Lloyd Wright Home Was Deconstructed In Minnesota And Rebuilt In Pennsylvania
    The aesthetic that Frank Lloyd Wright’s innovative architecture evokes is a pleasing one. It speaks to tasteful design that stands out immediately from the rest without compromising its function.
