A celebration of color and form

Beyond the obvious vivid and contrasting colors, I was attracted to the variety of shapes and sizes of leaves, petals, blooms and buds in the scene, which kept my eyes in constant motion, trying to take in every detail. Poinsettias, phalaenopsis orchids, mixed foliage plants.
