Wanted House Guests

Every so often, when I am working on the Immortal Floral series, my home transforms into a tropical dream filled with excessive amounts of colorful flowers and exotic botanics. Over the summer, when these Gladioluses were in bloom, I wanted to get as many color varitions as possible. Pictured below, their massive stem spans, totally engulfing my living room. Their colorful petals really pop against the grey and neutral background and accents. 

Location Scout: Horticultural Center

 
 

Wandering and exploring aimlessly does not go in vain, especially when you stumble across a location like the Horticultural Center. Typically, this space is an event venue that is used for weddings, banquets and receptions. However, it was just my luck to have the place all to myself for an afternoon! I kind of just wandered in and nobody told me to leave, so I quietly floated around, basking in the ambiance.
