I made friends with the lady who
ran the flower shop oposite my studio and she used to bring me curiosities
like this two tone flower. Although it's not as rare as you might
think, the fact that a florist would not use this in an arrangement
means that it is something that the public doesn't see too often.
To make the picture more interesting I sprayed the flower with
water mixed with a little glycerine to thicken it up and make nice
big droplets on the petals.
A jaunty diagonal and careful exposure complete the picture.
