Lovely flower and color, Alfred. I just posted a photo on two Garden Center Facebook pages near me. I thought I wouldn't be photographing flowers anymore, maybe just a random one here and there. I really liked a texture I found recently and added a public domain orchid which I normally don't do unless I am creating a collage picture. I really liked how it turned out. The flower in the image below is almost unrecognizable, it has been cutout and the color changed.
Now I'm wanting more flower/plant images! I visited two garden centers hoping to photograph flowers and organics. Everyone was so nice and encouraged me to photograph whatever I wanted. I didn't think it would be that easy, thinking I would have to be clandestine in my activities. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with enthusiasm and shared interested for my art project.
Here is the inspirational image with the orchids and the linen texture in the background:
