In the Nash conservatory,three giant 3 metre long fibre glass devil claw seed pod sculptures by Tony Gibas hang from the ceiling. As a film set designer, Tony also made the mock growth room where some of my plants are displayed. 
The exhibition also features some of the amazing coloured electron micrographs by Rob Kesseler . A few years ago there was an exhibition of his pictures of pollen, hugely blown up (shown below) I loved the idea of the trees and gardens showing through the images and it started me off thinking about how I could combine images in Photoshop and use transparency in my own work.

Really inspiring!
what a fantastic post Mags. I love those willow seeds... fantastic images. I'm sure you must have really enjoyed the day.
The scale of the sculptures is awesome and those images of pollen on sheer material is really beautiful.
What an amazing exhibition Mags. Thank you for showing us. it would be lovely to be able to get to Kew this year.
Wow these pods and seeds are really wonderful. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a go at making one? I love the scale of them and can see the skill taken to make them. Thank you for posting about them
This looks amazing - really wish I could see the exhibition.
Love the giant Banksia nut and the pollen images.
