Description
This is the center piece in an article/photo set I am working on for a local magazine. I used six lights - four parallel with the petals, one as a backlight, one to illuminate the stamen.The flower is actually 9 inches in diameter and 6 inches deep. It only blooms fully for about 6 hours and only at night.
Please view full-size for true color.
If interested in purchasing a signed archival quality print, please send me a note.

Come, look carefully at the inscriptions of this vast palace, look at all the adornments of the town, see the ordering of this whole land, and reflect on all the works of art in this world! See! If these inscriptions are not worked by the pen of one hidden who possesses infinite miracles and skills, and are attributed to unconscious causes, to blind chance and deaf nature, then every stone and every plant in this land has to be an inscriber so wondrous it can write a thousand books in every letter and include millions of works of art in a single inscription. Because look at the inscription on these stones in each are the inscriptions of all the palace, and the laws ordering all the town, and the programmes for organizing the whole country. That means that it is as wonderful to make these inscriptions as to make the whole country. In which case, all the inscriptions, all the works of art, are proclamations of that hidden one, and seals of his.
Since a letter cannot exist without showing the one who wrote it, and an artistic inscription cannot exist without making known its inscriber, how is it that an inscriber who writes a huge book in a single letter and inscribes a thousand inscriptions in a single inscription, should not be known through his writing and through his inscribing?

This is absolutely stunning! I was at the optomotrist's the other day, get a new pair of glasses, and while in the waiting room I read an article about exotic, endangered flower species. The photography was magnificent. This reminded me of it, so I found the article, thinking you might like to check it out - [link]
