Lots of people do, so I'm clearly in a minority here. Oh well. FWIW, those petal were white to begin with. The only real color was a tiny bit of green in the center. But I know what you mean about the mental block. B&W foliage has become a bit of cliche the last few years. I got turned on to Paul Caponigro's work several years ago, and it seems that everyone and their brother is trying something similar these days. But I like the general look of them.
