Macro of one of the blooms on the Delphinium stalk from the still life. There was only one of these at the cur flower stand by the time I got there last Saturday. Love the color and it was different from other delphiniums I've done which usually more blue.

I've stared at this off & on all day trying to think of words to describe that shade of purple. Can't! It's unbelievably purple, fantastically purple, halucinogenically purple...and yet the center of this flower is so disappointing, so organic, so...believable. Lots of contradiction in this shot. That moldy green color in the center of the flower is....I don't have a word for that, either.
