Long before multimedia and the internet, to the print press August was the 'Silly Season.' And as the planet revolves so does such return at least thanks to Frederik Busch. The German photographer uses his art to explore the identity and personalities of office plants, according to The New York Times. Indeed, says Herr Busch, "I have a sensitivity for plants," and he has published an illustrated book to prove it, at least to his own satisfaction. Udo will soon be going to primary school, but Anna can already read. Doreen likes to party, and Irmfried is disoriented. Of course, Udo is a rubber plant, Anna a heart-leafed philodendron; Doreen a ponytail palm and Irmfried a succulent. These plants have no less personality than their human counterparts. Sabine, a spider plant, adores dancing. There are more. Frankly, none look particularly healthy. In fact, by the time your read this they have in all likelihood gone to the great green compost heap in the sky.
