I always find these plants so interesting and I remember when you photographed these - they look great in B&W.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Pat, these double ruffles were beautiful in the original; however, the the b&w is in a class by itself. This one really makes a magnificent b&w presentation. This would definitely make a stunning addition to any decor.
