THE ART OF THE PLANT
Flowers, trees, plants in general, are artists, virtuosi in abstract, non-representational, three-dimensional art. They continuously create new forms, new colours. The scientist will say all these "creations" have a function – to protect the plant against predators, to attract insects.... Let us believe that it is for the pleasure of our eyes, of our mind, of our heart ... of the photographer.
