Every plant on this page is grown, not drawn.
Botanists write a plant's habit as an L-system — an alphabet of growth rewritten season over season. Each plate below carries its rule; the drawing obeys it live, and no two visits grow the same plant.

A pitcher plant that digests moonlight, or so the donor's letter insisted.
Arrived as a brown fist; unclenched green within an hour of watering.
