Chrome roses from my 'Flora Excursoria Hafniensis' series, referencing a book of the same title by Danish botanist Salomon Thomas Nicolai Drejer, published in 1838, on the one hand, and 'Burning Chrome' by cyberpunk writer William Gibson, published in 1982, on the other.

Burning Chrome," a short story published in 1982, is considered significant as it introduced many of the themes and concepts that would later be expanded in William Gibson's groundbreaking novel Neuromancer (published in 1984), famous for its opening lines: ‘The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.'
