What plants belong to you?

Have you watered your plants today?
Take a piece
of paper.
Now, let's tape it to the wall. A table lets the hand work. A wall asks the body to enter.
Flora begins with observation, memory and a simple drawing exercise. It can continue into an original commissioned work.

FLORA NOTE 01
GENETICS / TASTE
Some people inherit a soap-tasting coriander.
A variation near the olfactory receptor gene OR6A2 makes certain people unusually sensitive to the aldehydes in coriander leaf — the same family of compounds used in soap manufacture. Two people can eat from one plant and describe two different meals. The plant does not change; the reader does.
