|S| The making of: 'the herbarium'

Time to dry the plants we picked on the plots and add them to the herbarium. A herbarium is a collection of plants arranged by family for further scientific study. They are placed between dry sheets of newspaper. The paper absorbs the humidity and the plants keep their shape. As humidity in the paper can get too high, the process needs to be done several times per plant. One plant reads at least three news facts from different newspapers before it is dry enough. In Tbilisi it will mechanically be dried further to reach a humidity of 15% only.
