Evidence marks the launch of a new series of botanical prints and long-sleeved T-shirts (the latter featuring Dracaena draco and Momordica charantia) from Pear_ed, a project by Cynthia Fan and Hayden Malan. Their shared enquiry into botany, biology and art centres on the guiding question: What do plants really want? The plants in their botanical compositions hold medicinal, cultural and scientific value.

This is a Dracaena draco dump of sorts – because they're so magical and hard for our small brains to comprehend. I also grew up with a few around my parents' house so I'm slightly attached to them.
Is it because of the name that is seems like they've been on the planet for a few million years? (Affirming answers only).
