I do not yet know why plants come out of the land or float in streams, or creep on rocks or roll from the sea. I am entranced by the mystery of them, and absorbed by their variety and kinds. Everywhere they are visible yet everywhere occult.

  • -- Liberty Hyde Bailey 丽波提·海德·贝礼

我还不知道为什么植物会从地上长出来,为什么会漂浮在小溪里,为什么会爬在岩石上,为什么会从海里滚出来。我被它们的神秘所吸引,被它们的多样性所吸引。它们随处可见,却又神秘莫测。
