Orbea Flower, Stems, and Flies $80
This print is about 12"x12" (including border) and there are a total of 50 prints for sale in this run.
The Orbea plant family is a group of South African cacti that are pollinated by flies, and thus, have a flower that smells of rotting meat. They have fleshy stems, almost no spines, and hypnotically beautiful flowers.
This flower is a print from a photograph I took of a specimen I nurtured back to health after barely subsisting in another crowded pot. I never expected a flower quite so beautiful! I added more abstract versions of the stems and the pollinating flies to contrast the flower.
