This began as one of my old flames, a sunflower whose parameters I plugged into Apophysis 2.06c 3D Hack, which didn't reproduce quite the same image. But, as I rotated through the flame, spiralling bunches of ''daisies'' popped out. I both rotated the flame to produce separation of the bunches and then fiddled around with the "Pitch" and "perspective" values. I only used the lower half of the spiralling 'daisies' in the collage. The foliage was made up of another older flame that looked like a small leafy branch and placed end to end to produce the 'stems' for the flowers. These were layered over a background with a radial gradient which supplied the ''sun'' in Photoshop, where I also added the 'frame' and 'signature'.

Guess I'm already thinking spring as I look out at a white landscape following last yesterday's snow, and snow rain mix this morning, and waiting for the promised 50ºF promised by the weather forecasters today. The birds at the feeder look a bit cold, sliding around the icy patio table's surface as they land...LOL
