In this second part of my interview with botanical photographer Laurence Hill on fritillaria, we discuss - Which hurdles and opportunities non-formal scientists can face when wanting to publish scientific contributions - Why it is important to read more scientific literature than what one thinks may be important. - What we can learn about human history by looking at plants and their cultivation - How botanical art can be used to convey societal and philosophical thoughts - How to find inspiration and tell your story using plants. This interview is the 2nd part of my interview with Laurence Hill. In the first part he shared his journey into botanical photography with fritillaria and the reason for establishing his website Fritillaria icones that is a fountain of knowledge on this plant genus.
