The history of the vegetal world is the history of humanity. Botany is its ally, capturing its stories and flattening its narratives through an anthropocentric perspective. But plants do not belong to any garden. Neither do their forms nor their journeys belong to the history of science. Nor do they belong to the world: they are the world and world makers. From their roots to the tips of their stems, they show indifference towards humans, the cultures of their peoples, the alternation of their kingdoms, their wars, and their eras. Their flowers and leaves are mirrors. They seem to grow with the desire to merge with the earth. Their petals mimic the shapes around them, like the sharpness of a bird's beak, or the fold-like currents of wind, playing with the soil's tones while absorbing the solar dust that excites their veins.
