Notice the British Seed Cathedral

I don't know why I missed this (I think I walked on the Orkney Islands), but this British pavilion for the 2010 World Expo was also a worship voor biodiversity, and a great invention. It's constructed with 60.000 light-funneling fiber-optic rods (yes, I had to google that as well: every object funnel the sunlight and lights up fluorescent in the fiber-optic). Most special is, that in every rod are seeds from 25% of the world plant species! That's why it's called the Seed Cathedral.
I  hope you understand it better when you see it. It's so beautiful. It's just a plant.
