Worlds within worlds. The secret worlds of plants. Have you truly embarked on the journey? Really looked, really studied? Have you allowed yourself to be carried away? Not just by a bouquet purchased at the flower shop or a color bowl bought at the home improvement store. Do you know that feeling of being consumed by that dizzy, light-headed delight of truly seeing the beauty of a plant? Digging in the dirt, plantings seeds, celebrating the first chartreuse sprouts....watching with great anticipation the meandering path of a stem...and reveling in the glorious design of a leaf and bloom - I truly feel at home. Even in maturity and passing plants have a rich beauty that inspires painters and sculptors alike! Modern society is so consumed and obsessed with marketing, selling, buying, technology. We have largely become anesthetized and disconnected. The essence of plants reminds us of of our own beautiful origins.
