Rare book/out of print. "Lena Granefelt shows the beautiful decay of plants. A plant in the process of withering is like life and death in the same form. The beauty of the process was captured by photographer Lena Granefelt, who set out into autumnal gardens with her sights set on brown." Göteborgs-Posten September 1, 2016 Can plants think? Eat, fight, die? And what do they feel if so when they prepare for extinction? Photographer Lena Granefelt's images are poetic investigations into the life of plants after flowering and seed setting. In Flora supersum, she has photographed seed pods, capsules and pods that all carry life and death in the same form. Flora, the vegetation, is the subject that speaks. Supersum stands for avoiding dying, continuing to live. The strongest one with the most ingenious way of spreading its seeds survives. The garden becomes a war scene, a battlefield. But it is also a place that recalls a different kind of beauty. Seeds, embryonic stages or extreme stages
