February 20, 2013 -- Lenten rose and greenbrier leaf

I couldn't begin to tell you why, but there is something Mexican about this arrangement. The formality of the flower and leaf placement, maybe? It's actually the creation by a very tired gringo (me) who grabbed the first flower she saw (a Lenten rose growing by the front doorstep) and combined it with a greenbrier leaf I'd picked yesterday on a walk.What's showing is the underside of the leaf, which is a gorgeous, dusty, gray-green.
