“Thus nature provides a system for proportioning the growth of plants that satisfies the three canons of architecture. All modules are isotropic and they are related to the whole structure of the plant through self-similar spirals proportioned by the golden mean.”
Jay Kappraff, Connections: The Geometric Bridge Between Art and Science

May Sarton
“Plants do not speak, but their silence is alive with change.”
May Sarton, Plant Dreaming Deep
