Herbarium in Glass

Herbarium in Glass
“A herbarium is better than any illustration; every botanist should have one.” — Carl Linnaeus
Dr Abe V Rotor

Take it from Nature, resin to amber,
through metamorphism -
 unique beautiful rock, akin to jewel,
 radiates the magic of prism. 

Composite specimens encased in glass

It's about evolution and diversity,
work of art and the laboratory;
a whole course of botanical study,
from Darwin to scientists of today.

Lily flower arrangement and venation encased in glass 

I see your venation sans skin;
what an intricate frame!
You are indeed the onion's kin,
in one Family's fame. ~
