Synopsis
Transient plant forms collected during a walk around Plymouth on a sunny spring afternoon: buttercup petals, wild garlic and cranesbill flowers, forget-me-not florets and the seeds blown from a dandelion clock, pressed onto clear 35mm film and accompanied by a field recording of a hundred cheeping sparrows huddled in a wall of ivy.
Flora from Sundog Media on Vimeo.
