Like the beads of a Tibetan rosary, these 108 photographs are the fruits of ten years spent in the high Himalayan mountains in Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, India, Kashmir, and Tibet. Toshio Yoshida braved extreme weather to capture these beautiful and mysterious plants in such detail that you really feel present next to the plant. Akin to a leisurely stroll up in the land of the clouds, this is a fine piece of horticultural art and study.
