The Petriverse of Pierre Jardin: by Paul A. Harris

Urge 2 Merge

An urge to merge entangles trees and stones in sweet embraces, made manifest when trees grow on or around rocks in remarkable ways.

A tree can grow roots in a porous rock like limestone, as displayed in this tree growing out of a Taihu stone in the Summer Palace in Beijing.
A tree can mold itself around stones, as seen in this amazing instance of a giant sequoia growing around a glacial erratic boulder in Sequoia National Park in California.
