Where art and horticulture meet.
Seeds: In the early 1900s, Pavel Ivanovich Kharitonenko, aka "The Sugar King", lorded over the Russian agriculture scene with his considerable riches, garnered from his involvement in the sugar beet industry. He collected the work of famed jeweler Peter Carl Faberge, creator of the world-renowned "Faberge Eggs." The artwork on this pack digitally re-imagines the natural jewel-like brilliance of beets as priceless decorative objects, transforming the humble root from fodder to Faberge and then into the digital age. Grow your own deliciously lavish jewels with this brilliant blend of colorful beets.
Specific: Beta vulgaris.
Artist,Bill Rybak creates visual metaphors like this work that turns humble beets into priceless Faberge eggs. In this case, life imitates art.
