“Dried and faded flowers” is a bit of a cliche, isn’t it? The flowers here were eleven days old when I photographed them and instead of fading, their color grew more and more concentrated, the way a sun-dried tomato takes on a deeper red and a richer, more nuanced flavor that its fresh version.

I didn’t eat these flowers at any point, so my comparison is more a product of my brain than a simple statement of facts.

But anyway…here’s the last of the dried flower photographs. Tomorrow it’s on to something else.
