Procyon I (Dahlia hybrid)
These three photos tell a small story which would have gone unnoticed if there was no camera to capture the images. A really beautiful and extremely colourful dahlia flower opens, blossoms and then starts to die. This "cycle" is completed in less than two weeks while the "dying" flower creates a feeling of sorrow.
