A Botanical Showgirl

Here's a spectacular Showgirl, in full bloom.  This is special blossom that coincides with a collection of several small plants cooperating to create this particular spectacle.  It is extraordinary because many species of small, even unknown plants will pull their resources to create a cascade of multiple blooms that will give you a show, so to speak.  No two Showgirls will ever be alike due to the plants combined that create the blossom.  Some Showgirls have been known to include trees and shrubs and even small animals, insects or birds  join the cooperative efforts given the benefits of strength in numbers and a shared base of nutrients for all involved.  They live right under our noses, parading about Showgirl style, usually in floral arrangements.  This particular Showgirl was spotted in the wild and recorded in my sketchbook.
