The gardenia has historically aligned itself with silk, evening wear, and occasions requiring advance preparation. Cement is none of those things. The Cement Aqualla Gardenia is a ceramic wall flower, 3 inches across, one screw, no water. The cement glaze reads cool and mineral and completely correct in the room where it ends up, which is not what cement usually achieves. The aqualla form is the gardenia fully open, petals arranged outward with the composure of something that has been doing this since before the dress code applied.
