Pink and Exotic

Pink and Exotic, 7 x 5, SOLD
.
I have searched for a name for this sturdy little flower, but the closest I can find is that it may be in the Etlingera family. I know, not your common, household name. Some look a little like this, but many go another direction completely so I am not really sure about it. Not that I have to choose, but it's my favorite of the bouquet...

  1. I like the way it defines itself on the shadow side and starts to lose itself on the light side. Lovely contrasting but harmonic pinks. A most unusual and arresting flower study.

  7. This is wonderful!!!!
    It almost looks like a thistle before the little flower thing opens... or an artichoke...

    Whatever it is... it's pretty.
