“Aboveground portions of a plant represent only “the tip of an iceberg.”
Lincoln Taiz; Eduardo Zeiger, Plant Physiology by Lincoln Taiz

“The hallway leading to Botany is lined with cabinets full of dried plants laid out on acid-free paper. Today, I imagine them as a vertical garden, orchids and epiphytes dripping from the sides, a phantom scent of humid forest.”
Virginia Hartman, The Marsh Queen
