Sandwiched between two pieces of glass such that they grow in a space of an eighth of an inch or so, these plants would appear as two dimensional living art.
Pressing flowers and plants for books is a thing, but these would be alive so you could watch them grow.-- doctorremulac3, Feb 19 2023 Have never seen this done so [+] from me.-- pocmloc, Feb 19 2023 Thank you sir.-- doctorremulac3, Feb 19 2023 An Espalier Greenhouse! Have a sun-warmed bun.
From the plant's perspective, perhaps they'd feel imprisoned in the PanOpticon. Or maybe they'd feel happily ensconced in a friendly 'invisible' barrier that lets in sunshine and keeps out bad bugs and nibbling kitties. Tillandsias are perfect for the xeriscape nature of this application.-- Sgt Teacup, Feb 20 2023 Thank you sgt.
I kind of want to try this out. Be a fun weekend project.-- doctorremulac3, Feb 20 2023 random, halfbakery
