This is the image that was used to create the following (SAME, YET DIFFERENT) graphic images. Of course I did preform a few other manipulations first, including changing the color to negative and then using a couple of different "brush strokes".
For those curious about this flower, the plant is a perennial and fall is it's normal bloom time. The "type" for this species behind this hybrid is pink on a white to cream back ground. Grows best in a moist, organically rich spot where the roots can stay cool yet the plants can get early morning or late afternoon sun; getting both would be optimal, but no direct noon day sun. It will tolerate container culture with heavy winter protection.
Didn't know you'd get a gardening lessen, did you!
