Giant Dandelions Coming To McEuen

On a 4-3 vote, the City Council has voted to approve the 25-foot tall “Allium Spring Chorus,” for the Third Street entrance to McEuen Park. According to the artist, the inspiration of the design is the allium plant, a wild onion that is native to Idaho. The unique piece of art, resembling three lofty dandelions, was recommended by the city’s arts selection committee. It was also the favorite of more than 100 people who voted on art for that location. The artwork will include thousands of star shapes that make up the flower heads, catching and reflecting light and bending slightly in a plant-like manner/ Keith Erickson , Coeur d’Alene Today.
