One "Spiritual" analogy using plants is the art of Bonsai. In Bonsai,
trees are shaped into a scalene triangle. The topmost point represents
heaven, the middle point man, and the lower point earth. To me this
symbolizes connecting heaven earth and man. To me, trees are kind of a
bridge between heaven and earth, connecting the two together.
