Interesting quote, doubled edged, insulting an artist’s understanding of his own work, yet there is often reticence to describe the creatve process, where the work evolves as the process continues, leaving discussion of a work forever incomplete.

I think it's meaning the plant speaks for itself?

Eh? Surely asking a plant to discuss horticulture would be akin to asking a painting to discuss art. Similarly, asking an artist to talk about her work is like asking a gardener to discuss horticulture. --- Oh, poetic licence I suppose; i.e. logic's out the window. .
