I once visited Scotland, where everything was very different from what I am familiar with. Everything was somehow bigger. Because of the climate, I guess, the constant rains, the humidity. The greenery is perhaps greener than anything seen so far, too. But the plants were definitely bigger, the animals too.
In the photo above, I have photographed a dandelion precisely for this reason. I have never seen such tall dandelions.
Maybe somewhere in the wild they reach that height, but not in the garden. Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen a dandelion in a forest, for example. Have I seen it? I do not know.
Greens, greens, greens. Perhaps this is a paradise for plants. And for insects too, of course. But is it a paradise for humans? Well, people, like all living things, adapt to everything, that's clear. How do people live in the frozen ice or in the desert? But at the same time as humans adapt to climate conditions, so do plants and animals, even, I would say, much more successfully.
So who is superior then as a creature. Humans or other creatures? I wouldn't say it's the people, although they think it's them.
