Amongst the Ordinary

Here is the first of my recently completed projects.  It stands about 14 inches tall and is planted in a round wooden container about 6 inches in diameter. 
The flower can be found deep in a forest, an exotic and bizarre forest, the kind only seen in Burton or Tolkien films and books.  It grows on the forest floor in the rare openings created by a recently fallen tree, and sprouts up amongst the ordinary lilies and leaves. 

I doodled this flower after watching Big Fish with Miranda this summer.  I always like the part where he takes the short cut through the haunted forest where people go in and never come out.  And that is because they find the town of Spectre and tend to stay in town.  I thought this was a fictional enough flower to belong in this haunted forest, maybe even picked and cherished by the people of Spectre.
