This photograph of the Curcuma bloom (Curcuma longa), also known as Turmeric, is a simple testament to its unassuming beauty as it seems to float on a pedestal. Turmeric grows wild in the forests of South and Southeast Asia. A key ingredient to many Indian, Persian and Thai dishes, the orange colored product from its ground tubers was known as Indian Saffron in medieval Europe. This borderless poster formatted print is available in several sizes.
