无论从是字面上和比喻意义上来说，没有植物的世界就是没有生命的世界。它们不仅构成了人类在地球上生存的基础，而且还是创造灵感，创造力和表达力的重要来源。从走遍全球寻找从未见过的物种的科学探险家，如约瑟夫•班克斯爵士（Sir Joseph Banks），到试图表现日常物品的微妙之美的印象派画家，如爱德华•马奈（Édouard Manet），许多艺术家和插画家都将植物作为一种重要的媒介来传达我们生存的本质。

《植物灵感》是一本永不过时的艺术品和插画合集，通过各种视觉概念，风格和技术来表现植物群及其许多方面。

A world without plants is a world without life, both literally and figuratively. Besides forming the very basis of human survival on Earth, they are also an important source of creative inspiration, ingenuity, and expression. From scientific explorers like Sir Joseph Banks who travelled across the globe in search of never-seen before species to impressionist painters like Édouard Manet who sought to capture the subtle beauty of everyday objects, many artists and illustrators have used flora as a powerful means to convey the essence of our very existence.

Botanical Inspiration is a timeless collection of artwork and illustrations that feature flora and its many facets through a variety of visual concepts, styles, and techniques. It speaks to lovers of both nature and creativity as a universal language in itself, thoughtfully interpreted by some of today’s most intriguing and interesting talents.
