Description

The purple cone flowers in my garden are from one parent plant. I lovingly call him "The General" as he is the parent plant to all other purple cone flowers who thrive. He is the largest bloom each year and the strongest seed bearing plant.

In this black and white image, I imagined him playing a round of Peek-A-Boo with the young bloom below him, by the two petals covering the face of the bloom. When I saw this it made me think the one petal playfully reaching up and waving to me saying hey I'm under here! While the General takes his honorary place as elder as center stage of the image. They younger plants surrounding him awaiting their day to bloom in glory long after the Generals petals have faded. As they do, the General will be in his season of retirement and generating the years next generation of seeds in the lineage.
