Where it works
Thornton's night-blowing cereus: a huge white-and-gold cactus flower with orange rays glowing against a near-black night of moonlit church tower, trees and water. The dark ground wants a dark wall, a moody dining room in charcoal or navy at 24×36 in black, no mat, beside his Dragon Arum.
