Description
Purple, pinks and aqua accents this passionate pair of radiant orchid flowers processed with an impressionistic or mosaic effect. They look great printed on canvas.
Background story: The Greek myth of Orchis explains orchids' origin. Orchis, the son of a nymph and a satyr, came upon a festival of Dionysus (Bacchus) in the forest. He drank too much, and attempted to rape a priestess of Dionysus. For his insult, he was torn apart by the Bacchanalians. His father prayed for him to be restored, but the gods instead changed him into a flower. Orchids are one of the largest families of flowering plants.
