The formation of hybrids is a fairly frequent phenomenon in wild orchids, due to the use of pollinating insects to transfer gametes from one flower to another. Silvia Cini searches for these spontaneous orchids. The beauty of these tiny plants, capable of reproducing the form, colour, and odour of the animal linked to their pollination, a silent mutual support, distracts her mind from the clamour of the world. Their silent message is crystallised in form, leaving her defenceless to seek answers to life’s tribulations. The book appears in conjunction with the first stage of Cini’s project ‘Avant que nature meure’ (Before Nature Dies) at the Botanical Gardens in Budapest.
