If something lasts only briefly, can it still be full of meaning?
The ephemeral nature of flowers has often been used as a metaphor for the human condition.

"An Uncommon Exploration" searches for a common thread, identifying and relationg it directly to flowers.
The program reveals floral design as an installation of art that incorporates the hand, the heart and the intellect, along with the fruits of the earth.
