SEEKING A COLOR PALETTE; & SWITCHBACK

"Seeking A Color Palette" was edited (cropping, and black and white conversion) a month ago from a new pic, and just shaped up for posting today. (I.e., painting out wee bits of distracting spots in the background.) I find agapanthus blossoms endlessly entertaining. No two are ever alike in how they open up. This one seems to be rather confused, trying to find a proper radiating of its little individual flowers. My guess is that it received a rather changeable amount of light, coming from different directions. It reminds me of an old pic of mine ("Switchback" [4-29-12 11848e]) of a sea onion, posted here years back:

The feeler started out in all that bright light, and then ooops! No more light, better turn back. And, no, this pic has not been Photoshopped. (I didn't even have the Photoshop program at the time it was taken.) That's the actual line of light and shadow on the concrete over which the sea onion feeler extended itself. For anyone not familiar with the sea onion plant, those buds open into little white flowers with wee green stripes out of their centers.
