obedience PLANtS

Obedience is something that I lack entirely. As difficult as it is for me to comprehend it has its own transcendent beauty. I guess I could use more of it.

"Obedience Plant" is called such, because if the flowers are twisted on the stem they will remain in position.

I think of it as “ephemeral Bonsai” or “temporal art”, when I look at them and think that I could manipulate them into geometric forms with wire.
