William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a Romantic visionary who promoted the human imagination in his lifetime and inhis oeuvre of otherworldly artworks, considering them to be “the Body of God.” Blake’s philosophy of life can be summarized in one crucial insight: we don’t live in reality, we live in what we think reality is. If there is an essence to human existence, for Blake, it is the divine spark of the human imagination.

Though it may seem like an arbitrary topic, “Reflecting on a plant like ginkgo that was around in very different ecosystems when the dinosaurs were on the planet, that has been around for hundreds of millions of years, really puts our own species — let alone our own individual existence — into a broader context,” said Peter Crane.

Magnolias are ancient trees. Their lineage stretches back to fossilized samples dated at some 2 million years old. They have been theorized to have been around for longer than bees, as one of very few flowers dotting the landscape as beetles were the best insects to conduct pollination at the time. This particular plant is the Magnolia x soulangeana, or saucer magnolia. Originally bred by a French plantsman in the early 1820s, it flowers early in the spring, and was planted all over pastoral landscapes in the British Isles. As Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux sought to turn Central Park into an English romantic pastoral landscape, it was an easy choice to place this plant in the pre-planned park. It is an imported species to this continent, yet is a prominent feature within Central Park, and an example of its nature, nonetheless.
