Here we have two sculptures of a green plant and its growing stages sharing one base stand. The front piece has a large seed pod shaped like a giant flower bud. The pod is opening at the top with two thick, bumpy stems emerging and curling outward. Behind it is a horizontal stem with large black spots and patches of wispy hairs attached to a base. From the horizontal stem a bundle of green pods resembling peppers are encased by an rectangular shell of leaves, as if they were protecting the green pods and are, at last, opening.

This is a sculpture of a green plant attached to a base. The plant resembles a giant inward-curling leaf, and where it's primarily green, it also has red stems and veins. A-symmetrically shaped, the model curves upward to an opening at the top; along the side of the plant is a single leaf sticking out, as if it is excess after it had curled inward on itself. The top of the plant has an opening that leads to a encased, bulging center.

A light blue flower emerges and extends from its browning bud. The model depicts the blue flower unfurling a single, languid petal, while its other half stands upward and half-closed. Barely visible is the flower's style inside. At the bottom of the blue flower is a white and brown bud, with its triangular leaves still upright. The bud is attached to a green, rectangular, diagonal support, and the support is attached to a base.

Here we have a white flower in bloom from a green stem. The purple style made of rounded triangles pokes up from the center, surrounded by five white petals. The opened petlas have a small, curling spikes on their surface. The green stem is thick and has rounded triangular leaves and is attached to the base.

These two sculptures share the same base and flower type. The pink flower is fully bloomed with heart shaped leaves, and numerous, thin, white filament with yellow anthers coming from a green center. The five heart petals of the flower gradient from pink on the end to white, and have dark pink veins across the surface. The stem is green and boasts small ovular leaves with spiked edges. The anatomical model next to the flower is as if the stem and closed bud were cut down the middle to reveal the inside of the flower: shaped like a lightbulb, there is a fuzzy brown pit in the middle with thin white filament through the tapering part of the bud. From the top of the filaments are small rounded anthers, exposed outside of the closed bud.
