This used to be a beautiful Hydrangea - I fell in love with it at the store and bought it. The poor thing, it was doomed like all the flowering houseplants that I get. I don't know if I water them too much, too little or what. All I know is I feel sorry for plants that I fall in love with.

Very fitting challenge entry and well photographed. Possibly could be better with more of the subject in the picture.

HA! My wife is the same way! I like the idea, but the backlighting is a little too harsh. A darker curtain or temporary backdrop would have been an improvement.
