APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWER

Artist: Daniel Brown

Made from a single uncut square, this is a variation on my Dozen Roses model. This model's base is a simple bird base while the Roses version has a twelve-pointed bird base-derived starting point.

You'd think this one was first designed and the Roses came from a modification, but I didn't even think to make a four-stemmed version until after the Roses design was completed.

Anyway, they have the same basic idea but this one's significantly easier to manage. The flower petals came out really nice and I was able to sink the stems down past the rim of the pot - an aesthetic touch that I wasn't able to manage on the Dozen Roses.

I'm very happy with it!

A textured photo of a simple brown and purple coloured Cattleya bicolor which started flowering during February. The colour combination of this bloom is quite startling and very pleasing.
