I approve of the ornateness of the floral design since, if they were functional, they migh attract insects. Or humming birds, apparently.
And sorry to harp on a description. Pretty sure there is no good way for mere smear words to do it justice. And one can probably tell i came straight here from a particular thread about bad ideas...
