Chamomile Sunray Sola Cube
3.8 billion years ago life began on earth. And over millions of years multicellular life evolved into land plants and forests. The colors and shapes of flowers, fruits and seeds all have unique purposes and are as beautiful as they are functional. Intent on showcasing the wonder and beauty of mother nature, Koichi Yoshimura developed a way to exquisitely preserve plants in acrylic cubes. He called them “Sola Cubes.” Each Sola Cube is handmade by Japanese craftsmen and contain a real plant. The parts that looks like white petals are known as inner involucral bracts, a special kind of leaf that protects the collection of yellow flowers in the middle. The purple peeking out from behind are the outer involucral bracts from when the flower first buds. Native to Australia, these flowers prefer dry areas like their home.
