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!

Well, that's very interesting-- whoever spraypainted it didn't get spraypaint all over, which care I find a little surprising.

Wakanomori was saying similar. And it's not like we get very high-quality graffiti in this area. Maybe this was a very unusual artist, with a light touch.

Maybe it was someone doing magic, as initially speculated.

Quite possible.
