c e n t e r p i e c e s

    this flower has bloomed once a year for a few years. i love it, it's like this huge perfect geometric globe (i had to measured it, it has a 9 inch diameter & 30 inch circumference!)! i've never picked one before because usually there's only one flower and it seems like it always died quickly, but this year there are 2 and they seem to be sticking around longer, so i had to pick one and take pictures of it with mukha! so many of the pix turned out good that i've been having a hard time trying to pick my favourites. i like them all for different reasons. i have spent way too much time on these! so here are my favorite favs (?) and here are my other faves

      These are fantastic!!! I love them all. What a good Mukha with her wave looking like she's giving it a bat hahaha ... and she's so pretty

      Amazing flower too, when I first looked I thought it was a perseption thing ... the flower was close and Mukha further back ... then looking at the rest I see it is on the table with Mukha, it looks as big as her head :-)
