Inspired by a golden yellow ginkgo tree that I passed by yesterday, I thought that I would do my own modern take on a ginkgo theme. So here goes (left to right)... Ginkgo chair by Weber furniture, ginkgo drawing by a French artist, Favorite Choses, ginkgo fashion illustration by Darren Whittington, ginkgo chairs again, ginkgo metal wall art from Viva Terra, and a great ginkgo graphic by Sunny Frog. For more ginkgo inspiration visit the blog dedicated to all things ginkgo, Ginkgo Dreams.
Also, here's a nice poem about the Ginkgo by Johan Wolfgang von Goethe:
This leaf from a tree in the East,
Has been given to my garden.
It reveals a certain secret,
Which pleases me and thoughtful people.Does it represent One living creature
Which has divided itself?
Or are these Two, which have decided,
That they should be as One?To reply to such a question,
I found the right answer:
Do you notice in my songs and verses
That I am One and Two?
-Goethe






this is such a great post!
