I'm sorry, I couldn't quite see the detail until I enlarged the image. You have a wonderful gift. My Aunty paints botanicals, she's very talented.

I picked it in the middle of the night so it hadn't fully bloomed. I used my cellphone as a flashlight. I was very sneaky.

Or it may look funny because I'm out of practice and couldn't find any watercolor paper.

It did smell nice. Like...purple. A sweet purple.

Colonel, you could make them into lovely cards.

Not a bad idea! And I could use the same image but change the text inside and sell the basically the same card with a different purpose! For example, one card, for romantics, would read "A lovely flower for a lovely lady"

and the second card, for people you don't like, would read :

The flower is picked it starts to wilt,
What it was building is completely built,
its petals will dry
its going to to die
and eventually you're going to die too,
so quit being such a dick to everyone.

(I still need to work on the rhymingness of the last bit)

Having given this serious consideration, I've decided I'd like to purchase your piece "Flower Pollens in the wind" Never before have I seen pollen so well executed.

I shall purchase this with the new 'teh internets' money. Please download and print this out 6580 times and accept it as payment in full.

P.S. this new 'teh internets' money is valid only with those stoned, smashed, or extra dull.

I ain't no poet Col., but...

The flower is picked it starts to wilt,
What it was building is completely built,
its petals will dry
its going to fry,
And just like it, you'll die.
Hopefully soon.

I need to work on my last line too.
