Human Flower Project
A Holiday Meditation (or Parlor Game)
This “snowflake” is actually a white petunia, transformed by photographer David Bookbinder into a Flower Mandala. Welcome and thanks again to David for pointing us to his beautiful images. The photographer solicits your thoughts.
I’d like to invite you to participate in a project I’m doing with the series of mandala images I’ve made from photographs of flowers. I’m planning to put together a book with a word and a meditative phrase or quote associated with each image. I’ve posted the images in a forum on the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden web site and am hoping people will help me with the text part of the project.
I hope, eventually, to create a book of 52. In addition to text to go with the images, I’m also interested in any other sorts of comments you might care to make.
Thanks --
- David

Note: It takes just a moment to register on the UBC Garden Forum site, but for your trouble you can see all 50 of David’s photos and join one of the finest gardening forums around.
Human Flower Project is on the road for the next few days. We’ll resume the weblog soon. Meantime, to all visitors and friends, Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas!
