I wanted to make the flowers more aggressive and ironic and less docile and sensual.
Collier SchorrInnate sensuousness rarely has any desire for accuracy, no desire for precise information. It basks in sunshine, bathes in color, dwells in a sense of the impressive and the gorgeous, and rests there.

True controlling sensuousness cannot be manifested in the most active dispositions, nor again in the most accurate.

It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.
