The British Horticulture Series Collection: “Looking Into a Bromeliad"
“Looking Into a Bromeliad" is a portrait of a bromeliad, Neoregelia cruenta, plant growing in Kew Garden’s Princess of Wales conservatory.
Bromeliads are fascinating. They store water in their central cup, to ensure the plant has its own steady water supply when it grows in trees in the wild. Because of this the stored water can provide life support for living creatures such as tadpoles of tree frogs and insects.
I loved the dry powdered wax-like texture of this plant, along with its fuchsia core and electric green centre. The composition feels all encompassing and hypnotic.
I hope that this magnificent bromeliad entices you to add it to your collection.
Created as a part of British Horticulture Series. Learn more about this series, its inspiration, and sentiments that rooted my process, HERE.
