With the sustainability theme Scorched Earth in mind, I decided to share several of my designs from a special angle. After some online searches that were linked to the theme, I found an interesting study that I would like to share with you through images and thoughts.
Flowers Are Changing Color in Response to Climate Change
Do you know that flowers also respond to climate change? They are changing... And a new study by Rasha Aridi in Smithsonian Magazine of October 2020 shows that "Flowers Are Changing Color in Response to Climate Change".
Deeply Affected
Rasha states that: "As temperatures and ozone levels rise, blossoms are adjusting their UV pigmentation."
That information affected me deeply, and it’s my responsibility to draw attention to climate change with my floral designs. If we take a baby step even in our daily habits maybe flowers will save their colors too.
It’s truly a global matter and the solution will require a globally coordinated response. Let’s act together.
