A few findings and drawings from Charles Darwin’s last book:
The Power of Movement in Plants published in 1880. 

These are a handful of his fascinating drawings that study the movement of plants in relation to their surroundings.They have an amazing quality that seems to capture a beautiful quality somewhere beteen order and disorder and they remind us that plants like humans, are sensitive to light (phototropism), gravity (geotropism), and touch (thigmotropism) and there are beautiful movements of life happening all around us that are barely noticeable.
