Tiger lily and blue butterflies

Here goes with my second entry for my exhibition THE ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES. This picture is more whimsical. As I said in my last blog the background of these pictures is to have references to the history of the bloom depicted. Not so here... It was my intention to play with the idea of tiger lilies against a background of mosaic tigers from the Royal Apartments in Montreale, Sicily. However I got to thinking tiger lilies are spotted , not striped, so I've done the charming mosaic animals as separate pictures.----more to come in my next blog---- meanwhile....
