BLOOMS INSPIRED BY TUNES Born in the USA | Bruce Springsteen Released June 1984, Born in the USA is one of the highest-selling records of all-time with 30 million copies sold worldwide. Annie Liebowitz photographed its cover that was considered controversial for featuring Springsteen’s backside so prominently. The red hat in his back pocket was a tribute and belonging of a friend’s father who had passed away. Gardeners Dawn and Trish chose this album as it’s a personal favorite of theirs. Using vinca, evolvulus, white flowers and a pair of jeans they hope you can appreciate their tribute to The Boss.

Endless Summer | Beach Boys The Beach Boys released Endless Summer in 1974 as a compilation of the band’s songs from 1962-1965. Spending 155 weeks on the Billboard charts, it brought the band back into the spotlight. The album highlights the Beach Boys’ early surfing and hot rod-themed music and continues to evoke strong summer vibes. The two related beds create a beach scene using blue and white color accents, “dune” plants, and colorful floral and foliar plant accents. Gardeners Jeremiah and Terra wish all of you a perfect endless summer.

1999 | Prince 1999 was released in 1982 to great critical and commercial success. The music videos for “1999” and “Little Red Corvette” received heavy rotation on MTV, making Prince one of the first black artists to be frequently featured on a television channel. Gardeners Eloy and Benjamin selected Setcreasea ‘Purple Heart’ for its rich purple color, representing both the album’s background and Prince’s frequent use of purple. They also chose Duranta erecta ‘Aurea’ to create a border, mimicking the golden-green outline around the album’s title.

Sticky Fingers | Rolling Stone For more than 50 years the Rolling Stones’ “tongue and lips” emblem has been a symbol of the rebellious rock ‘n’ roll spirit. First featured on the inside sleeve of the Sticky Fingers album in 1971, the famous logo has been included on every successive album and emblazoned on countless T-shirts, patches and posters since. Gardeners Jerry and Diane used plants to create the colors and textures inspired by the Rolling Stones. Coleus ‘Lime Shrimp’ is incorporated as a nod to Sticky Fingers.
