      <image:caption>This is a flowerpot made of terracotta clay. Inside is a rex begonia “Devil’s Paradise.” Aren’t plant names fun sometimes? It’s lonesome though. See how it’s flying solo on the lawn? Both flowerpot and plant need more friends.</image:caption>

This aspect of the second iteration features a wall-sized print of an Ace of Hearts card upon which my mother wrote "I love you," and which my father carried in his wallet while serving in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. Below the print are four slide viewers and terracotta soundmakers with 32 terracotta cherry blossoms. This pays respect to my parents meeting under a cherry tree and dancing to Wild Thing. They were together 32 years after that night.</image:caption>
