On my way out of Kew gardens I spotted these exquisite sculptures. The information board explained how the artist, Tom Hare, recreates enlarged sculptures of various seeds, pods and fruit by using willow branches and steel frames to commemorate the success of Kew's millenium seed bank. They are visually stunning and should be admired for the attention to detail especially since the media used is not fully malleable.
