Where it works
Thornton's dragon arum: a huge maroon-purple spathe around a near-black spadix, over jagged green leaves, with a volcano erupting under a stormy sky. Dark and theatrical, it suits a study or a dining room in charcoal, burgundy or dark green at 16×24 in black, no mat, beside his Night-Blowing Cereus.
