Twig Saints and icons
My Irish Roman Catholic upbringing exposed me to medieval stained glass and paintings honoring humble saints with stories. From a plant's perspective, how would it see the world? What would a plant honor? What would they make paintings of? As twigs are the most unassuming part of nature, I propose that their celebrities would be twigs, the humble saints of nature.
