Provoking and mystical!  Working with oranges has been a lot of fun for me, and this new cultivar really shows just how much!  Yet even more complexity and surrealism in the genre, with the difficult approach of perfecting subliminal suggestion into the mix.  Parchment texture adds so much dimension to this slightly different look, and transparent definition to the eye and edge work well with this hard to reach goal of achieving a conjunctive look and feel... with the illusive nature of age.  The freshness of the bitone nature, with much brighter yellow sepals showing sharp contrast, is somehow symbolic to my own feelings about aging... being more complex with time, yet still the same person I've always been.  This flower is very personal to me, because it's a tangible fusion of the art in my mind, and the reality of nature as a working media.

This is an especially unusual plant!
