Where it works
Fitch's chestnut tiger orchid crowds the whole sheet with yellow flowers barred chocolate-brown, hanging from a green stem over a broad leaf, on a cream page. Dense pattern like this holds a dining room with ochre, olive or chocolate walls at 16×24 in black, no mat, beside the Leopard Orchid.
