    the textures are amazing to see on this plant…so much like a starfish or even lichens. Beautiful…and sad to know it’s threatened!

    Intricate awesomeness …to think that a lot of our newer materials are from biomimicry.

    really amazing indeed. It looks like frozen, or ill. Marvelous combination of texture and tones of green…
