Black Bat Plant
Tacca Chantrieri

A thoughtful gift, I was determined to bring it to fruition, but this Devils Flower incessantly failed to produce.  Then just like that it showed itself and it was extraordinary. I immediately longed to be up close on a cellular level deep within all its sinewy, irregular, unearthly fragments. Focusing  intently on its creature like formation. What some might perceive as alien and a little peculiar, I thought magnificent. Questioning whether the elements of something so stunning in its entirety, needed to be ideal and perfect within themselves.
