“A landscape may appear beautiful and serene, but look closely: a fierce battle is going on. Each plant is trying to overcome or outwit its neighbor, struggling to control light, moisture, and space. The scene seems peaceful only because the action is in slow motion and you are seeing the winners of the moment.” -Steve Solomon
