Whimsical still life featuring an array of imaginative flowers and botanical forms in a dark vessel against a mustard and yellow background. The composition includes surreal blooms with eye-like centers in shades of red, white, yellow, and blue, arranged in a playful, dreamlike arrangement that blurs the line between flora and abstraction.

Odd Array

Oh Adept! 

The vessels are excited! 

They have patiently rested long: gestating and fermenting.

The seeds have grown wise and the mischief blooms! 

Oh dear friend! An AWESOME outburst of splendor and charm! 

Spontaneous constellations, biology, and buds. 

Do these flowers stare back at me? 

Oh teacher! I have never seen such flora! These strange bouquets! 

Yet, how can they be so familiar? What is this odd array?
