 I LOVE the caps on the flowers before they open the petals - look how marvelously detailed they are? Should have gotten even closer, huh? But I love these before they open. Kinda like poppies before they bloom, only upside down.

My Christmas decorating consists entirely of plants - poinsettias in red and white, cyclamen in white, geraniums in red. And a couple of pine wreaths, too.

Yes, the grain is intentional, and yes, I know the grain challenge was so last month.... :-)

nice finish Deb, although should've been higher. Great tones, and grain works very well.
