About the Artwork:
This is the final piece in my series on night-blooming flowers. As its flowers open late in the day, the Four O Clock invite creatures of the night to them. It is a moment of beauty that fades with the first light of dawn, yet in those few precious hours, the flower and its night visitors share an intimate connection. This is the secret world of the night bloomers. – Grelin Machin
