Falter and son , making all the way across the globe to leave an indelible track in the history of botany science. No one bothered to immortalize them in glass. But their delicate souls are forever with us , reflecting in the shimmering sides of glad stamens and pistils

Glass flowers, wax fruits, paper swans…. Bittersweet smell of decadence in the air… Still life. Very still. Frozen…

[@gardeningwithfriends4939]

... and the Glass Flowers draw nearly 200,000 visitors each year

Are there cannabis flowers? Tiny shimmering beads at the end of each trichome. M-m-m-m …. floweeers….
