That sounds like a dramatic display, one not easily reduced to reproduction of the images. By the way, at what time of year, do these sarniensis forms and hybrids bloom over there - early or late autumn? I ask because normally blooming begins here in mid-September, peaking in October. This year they are rather late.

Each plant is in a black recess in a wall finished with a gilt frame, and lit by a single overhead spot. Until you get close it is difficult to see if it is a painting or a real plant. Very dramatic. Beats the Auricula theatre hands down. A pain to photograph because of the contrast, and flash turns the background to grey.
