This photograph highlights the delicacy of a tropical grass growing in Bogor's botanical garden. In the foreground, the feathery spike of an ornamental grass stands out for its light, slightly silvery tones, which contrast with the intense, lush green of the surrounding stems. This plant, often considered commonplace, nevertheless reveals all its elegance in the simplicity of its forms and the lightness of its structure. Grasses play an essential role in many ecosystems: they help to stabilise the soil, provide a habitat for small animal species and contribute to the ecological balance of wet and dry environments. Here, their presence in the botanical garden testifies to the richness of Indonesian flora and the attention paid to plant diversity. This image embodies the discreet but fundamental beauty of nature, reminding us that every plant, even the most modest, has an ecological and aesthetic importance. A fragment of plant poetry in the heart of an unspoilt area.
