Where it works
The stinking iris from Redouté, a small yellow-and-violet flower almost lost in a tall fan of gray-green sword leaves, with a split pod of orange-red seeds drawn below, on white. Mostly foliage, it suits a study, bathroom or green-painted hallway at 16×24 in natural wood with the white-mat edition.
