LJUBLJANA – Fleischmannov rebrinec necklace

110

Description

Plastinaca sativa

A rare plant initially called “Fleischmannov rebrinec” (Plastinaca sativa) once grew indigenously on the hillside of Ljubljana’s castle. The walking path which leads from the city to the castle is named after this extinct endemic. The plant belongs to the species of parsnip and is considered extinct in the wild. It is only kept alive in the Botanical Garden and is named after its discoverer, Andrew Fleischmann.

As a sign of respect for this protected plant, we did not pick it it for the Music City Bracelet project, yet created a 3D scan from which a cast of nature was made. In honor of “Fleischmannov rebrinec,” we played the song “Nad mestom se dani” (Jože Privšek) in the Botanical Garden.

Ljubljana’s extinct endemic is available as jewelry in the form of earrings, a necklace, and a unisex bracelet.
