Another case of "Heavenly Blue" but this vine is flinging itself through magenta bougenvilla.

The image appears in James Wagner's blog. He saw this combination at the Ray and Charles Eames House in Pacific Palisades, CA. He did not respond to email, so I did not want to post a full image.I have wondered what flowers might have grown in an Eames garden.

I do not see too much documentation on what the Eames couple enjoyed in flowers. I have always liked this fabric designed by them circa 1947. Here are a few quotes from the Eames partnership:

"Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world."

“We wanted to make the best for the most for the least”

“The same stars that shine down on Russia, shine down on the United States. From the sky, our cities would look much the same”

“Ray [Eames], who is my wife and not my brother.”

"You know what looks good can change, but what works works."

"My wife and I had made a commitment to disregard the sacred enclosure around a special set of phenomena called art; in our view preoccupation with respecting that boundary leads to an unfortunate and unwarranted limitation on the aesthetic experience."
