ZMACS June: Green Things Polyorama / Myriorama

Yet another ZMACS Survey swap!

A polyorama is an optical trick that creates a landscape. There are several interesting versions, but for this particular swap we will stick to the idea of interchangeable cards that can be placed next to each other in any order to create a landscape. The trick is to make sure that the pictures can connect in the foreground, midground and background. A polyorama can be rearranged in very large mathematical numbers of combinations. Here's a modern magnetic one for your refrigerator! Apparently, they are also called myrioramas ... Someone please help me do the math for combinations of only 5 cards ...

The polyorama challenge this time is to make 5 panels the size of two ATCS stacked vertically on top of each other (or 2 1/2 inches wide x 7 inches tall) that can connect in any combination to form a landscape that is blooming, garden-y, flower-y -- heck, you can throw in carnivorous plants, giant Triassic palms, or creepy Titan arum lilies if that is your thing, just make it rather lush and green. Green dinos, lizards, frogs, Godzillas, etc., are optional. Let's give it our best try, knowing that perfection is a bit overrated when it comes to mail art, anyway! Connecting the visual grounds requires a bit of planning and thought, so let's give it a June swap date.

One set of 5 panels that could connect in any order to one partner. Topic: green growing things in a landscape. Any art media that works for the flat (assume most people will use paper or cardstock of some sort) panels. I will angel any unsent swaps. Sense of adventure and humor are vital! Open to all ZMACS members in good standing.
