Description
Inveigled into a survey of botanical art on Versimmon, Bernice is disappointed to get bogged down in an unseasonal cold spell - and to discover that Ruth has some radical ideas about how the living archive should be managed.

All the time, the weather on Versimmon is changing, and its inhabitants will find that revolutionary times demand revolutionary works of art...
