Ember Fan: Trumpet Flowers in Swirls

A bunch of pink, orange and red tubular flowers hangs in a fan shape from a central point. The petals and the dark blue and green background are covered in curling swirl patterns that look like thick oil paint. A textured red-orange border frames the image.

Someone wants this because it is a familiar flower, a hanging fan of trumpet blooms, made new by its surface. Every petal and every dark background disc is built from tiny curling spirals, so the flowers look like they are made of swirling paint. Hot pink, orange and red glow against deep blue, as if lit from within. Plenty of flower pictures are pretty. Few are this saturated, this textured and this bold on a dark ground.
