Alas, the flower was a fraud

I should be less credulous.

I noticed in the photo I'd taken the other day that the stalk in the background looked spattered, as if by paint. This morning I went back and looked at the flower again. It's closed up now, and you can clearly see where the paint hit and where it didn't.

Ah well!

Aw, sad...but, hey, it was still beautiful. :)

Yeah, and a fun adventure. And shows an interesting turn of mind on the part of the spray painter, too.
