Plants in neon light

In the dark, neon lights illuminate the plants, giving the illusion that the plants are glowing. These passively glowing plants are full of magical effects in the darkness of the night. In the city, the human aesthetic concept determines the way plants live. Under the colorful lights, these plants are so bright and strange that they look like clowns dressed in costumes to please humans.
