What if succulents sprouted in squiggles? Or cacti turned orange and floated to the sky like balloons?

An imaginative animation by Hiroshi Takagishi pushes botanical specimens and their potential evolution to peculiar extremes.

As cacti wiggle and wobble or burst into dainty green petals, their recognizable forms become strange and surreal.
