When collecting photographs for this visual essay, we were struck by the endless subject-matter offered by the natural world and its flora. Often, when photographers birth personal projects, the fear exists that what they’ve created is unoriginal: that it has been done before, and therefore may be repetetive, appropriated even.

Though photographers have captured plants — their foliage and flowers — time and time again since the birth of photography, there seems to be an infinitesimal number of ways to approach this subject: the natural world inspiring endless fascination. By its nature continually evolving, changing, and ephemeral. If anything, near impossible to be photographed the same way twice.
