Superb composition and atmosphere. Love the curves of the lighter leaf edges framing the flowers. Beautiful too how the whole composition seems to emerge from the mysterious dark background. BV

Magical, mysterious and altogether marvellous.
Not just the flowers, but the velvety, sensuous curves lift this picture into the sublime.
Lucky you to have them as close neighbours.
