Our planet is home to a breathtaking variety of different species, each with its own unique character. All of them are interconnected in multiple ways.

They exist because of their relationships, and some even exist in a state of symbiosis, where one species is the environment of another and vice versa. They affect each other through direct and indirect effects, and one species can have different effects on different species.

Of all the species on our planet, those in the plant kingdom are of particular importance to us. They produce the oxygen we breathe and the carbohydrates and proteins we eat. We use them to build the structures we live in and to produce the garments we wear. Lastly, they have the magical power to transform our surroundings into a marvel of scents, colors, fruits, and essences.

When different species meet, something special happens. For example, when orange and fennel come together in a delicous orange fennel salad.

A question of 23.5º

Our planet is a unique place due to its axis being inclined by 23.5º in relation to the sun. This simple geometrical fact has an enormous effect on our environment as it produces the sequence of alternating seasons.

This discontinuity means that not everything is present all the time. This universal fact introduces the pleasant surprise of the melodic variation of essences that appear next to us during the course of the year.

This application aims to reconnect us with the species that exist around us and remind us of the infinite potential hidden inside the relationships we can establish with them.

It presents a particular selection of plants through their species and the properties of their cultivars. While the species help us recognize relationships between plants, the cultivars enable us to understand where and when a plant can grow, be harvested, or share its scent through its blossoms. Just switch between N and S and you will be presented with the plants that grow at that moment in your part of the planet.

Like a botanical garden, this application invites you to walk through its infinite paths. If you encounter a species you like, just remember that you could share the warmth of your living room during the next winter and, in exchange, appreciate some fruits shortly after.
