Well almost, because after the first feeling and emotion, the inquisitive eye will look for other images of the series which it dissects and analyzes. It is this curiosity, a little useless; but,…

This lack of recognition…

Such is the case with flowers. We try to hold on to their beauty, domesticate and understand them, although there is an intricate intelligence to flowers that we yet ignore.
