It's Springtime on Polaris-9b, and the Exoflowers Are Blooming
Briefly

In 'Flora Incognita', Vincent Fournier, a French artist and photographer, imagines what flowers might look like on exoplanets like Novathis-458b. The project blends art and science, showcasing digitally manipulated images of alien flora that suggests evolution in response to extreme conditions, such as high winds and variable gravity. His illustrations include flowers that harness strong winds for pollination, presenting a thought-provoking perspective on how life could adapt in different planetary environments. Fournier's work will be showcased at the Association of International Photography Art Dealers show in New York, merging creativity with astrobiological principles.
