An arabesque in itself

A glorious day at the world's greatest botanical garden today...



"A garden is a complex of aesthetic and plastic intentions; and the plant is, to a landscape artist, not only a plant - rare, unusual, ordinary or doomed to disappearance - but it is also a colour, a shape, a volume or an arabesque in itself."
Roberto Burle Marx
