The Yellow Rose at NHM

The Yellow Rose

Here the dainty yellow rose infuses the mighty authoritarian building structure with the waft of life.

The Rose Garden of Exposition Park in Los Angeles, having replaced the race track once there, and the imposing domed Natural History Museum structure squats over the ground where once the track betters gambled, bawdy houses rocked, and liquor flowed.

Triumphant declaration of civilization moving in, the yellow rose invites all: the Sun glows its vibrant color, the air tells of sweet aroma, its petals dance in the wind while its sensuous nooks entice fertilization to make a future.

Springtime brings life back to the garden, and the staid old museum is tickled by the aromatic glow of the Yellow Rose.
