Wet Lily III & IV & V Suggestions for a complementary quote, a word that these mandala images evoke, or some history or other information about the flower itself are most welcome, as are corrections to my flower identification if I've got it wrong and any other comments you'd care to make. I'd also appreciate identification of the specific cultivar, if applicable. Thanks, - David © 2004, David J. Bookbinder

cliched response but the first mandala is vaginal and the third is so round that after my first association, it makes me think of a breast. *shrug* am i allowed to say that on these forums? anyway - no doubt not a useful set of responses for your book. not my fave of these images...not sure why - maybe the coloration...maybe because the edges of each mandala seems somehow less inviting. hard to explain.
