Feel I want to tidy it up a bit petals go all ways,part of it's beauty really.
somehow reminded me of show auricula growers whose shows i was involved with years ago they would would use a credit card to flip the petals of the auricula flower over so that they were all in order, under over under over all the way around before placing them on the show bench,they were clever at it as it would take very little to damage a bloom. another bit locked a way in my brain lol

A beauty to paint Posy.....

Stunning!

I agree, it's a beauty! :-))
