Well, what do you think? – Is This A Flower Only A Pollinator Could Love?
Flowers are more than symbols, more than decoration – This isn’t a flower only pollinators can love, this is a flower for the adventurous, the intellectually divergent, the quirky, the big-of-heart – Once you embrace this Quasimodo of a flower, you are embracing a richer, deeper beauty and you will be the richer for it!
Grotesquely gorgeous! Fantastic montage, Michal.
