The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting it means that insects can see the color. I mean it's not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter there's also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Then he says "I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing," and I think that he's kind of nutty. He'll hold up a flower and say "look how beautiful it is," and I'll agree. “I have a friend who's an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don't agree with very well.
