SLP 296

296 days into my year long making of a daily still life. The Rose Campion is also known as Mullein Pink, Dusty Miller, Bloody William, and Lamp-flower. The symbolism of this gorgeous plant is "never change until death" and "you alone deserve my love". Much beloved by Chinese poets it is a symbol of nobility and it is said that the creator used the wind to cut its flower into such a unique shape.

Pretty little flower.

I admire your dedication in shooting 365 consecutive still lifes. I'm not sure I could shoot in the same genre for a week, let alone a year.

I like the myths and stories about flowers that you tell.
