Dead Orchid......

I could not throw this dead blossom away. I spread it out on a Japanese lacquer tray.

Well-conceived -- it looks like it is lacquered into the lacquer tray. Great against the red.

It’s beautiful. People at work laugh at me for often not tossing flowers or big/special leaves just as they wilt. Glad I’m not the only one who sees the beauty as it’s beauty starts to fade.

Makes a great image with the red background!

You gave this blossom a new "life" by making it bloom again. Beautiful.

When orchid blossoms fall off the plant they are still pretty, this is lovely!
