The Vicki, one of Two Li Design’s firsts, is a succulent unexpectedly found and oddly thriving on the lanai of one of my favorite places to eat here on the North Shore. I became obsessed with this particular fat, fleshy plant that haunted me when playing with its image. I deserted her for another in Southern California, a more fitting environment, whom I mistakenly thought would be a cleaner, better image, only to return to her because she was "the one." She is named “Vicki” after my friend, a world traveler who loved her as much as I did and believed in both of us.
