Blooming Bus Shelter  

Muni rider Alex sends us the following:

Tuesday morning, it looked like the centerpiece for Martha Stewart’s Easter brunch exploded on top of this Muni bus shelter at Chestnut and Pierce. These are giant plastic plants. I have no idea what this means.

Seen interesting flora and/or fauna on Muni lately? Let us know. Submit a Muni diary!

    I love this quite a lot. Asked the girls at Benefit Cosmetics near the bus stop but they too did not know how the flowers got there.

    Doesn’t two instances make something guerilla-style? Okay everybody, this is a call to lenses/keyboards! Send photos and descriptions of any flora-decorated bus shelters you see to Muni Diaries, please. muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com

    There’s one at Masonic and Oak, as well. No picture, but it looks like the one in the article (except with St Agnes behind it, not Victorians.)

    I think it’s gotta be some sort of guerrilla marketing for Stacks in Hayes Valley.

    I saw that this morning as well and my gf told me it was an ad for Degree deodorant.

    It looks like a funeral garland on a coffin

    Bus shelter ads are for Degree deodorant. The shelters along Michigan Avenue in Chicago are also laden with flowers on the roof and with Degree posters. Beautiful use of outdoor advertising but they should have incorporated it with social media given the uniqueness of this campaign.

    Barbara, I hear what you’re saying. But with our community of supersleuths, Degree inadvertently did incorporate the campaign with social media ;)

    I took a picture on my iPhone of the flowers at 19th and Taraval. Would definitely brighten up my Muni ride, that’s for sure.
