From the mythological tale of Cadmus sowing dragons' teeth in ancient Greece, to the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens capturing the scene in the 17th century, dragons' teeth have inspired awe and intrigue for centuries. This symbol of transformation and conflict can be found in various forms, from the concrete tank traps of World War Two's Siegfried Line in Germany, to the coastal defenses of Minsmere RSPB Reserve in England. Yet, dragons' teeth also exist in nature, such as the rare and beautiful Tetragonolobus maritimus, or dragon's teeth, that bloom on the limestone cliffs of Orkney, Scotland. Amidst the Scots Pine in flower, these natural wonders stand as a reminder of the power and resilience of nature, continuing to inspire and captivate our imaginations.
