The details of plants mesmerize me. The texture of bark, the colour shifts in petals, how light travels through the veins of leaves. I lose myself in the camera, in trying to capture the reflection of the sky in a water drop on the petals of a peony. It is like stepping into another world, temporarily. I’m gone.
Here, I have collected some of those details, photographed in botanic gardens around the world.
