Bettina, you are just too funny for words!  I love all you guys for the uber super support.  You're right, I won't trash it as it does have a certain ' je ne sais quoi'!  I'll put you all out of your misery and tell you it was an attempt at a gladiolus..............  from instructions by Shaile.  Please note, the result is no reflection on Shaile's instructions, just my lack of ability.  Having watched lots of vids on youtube, I think I have an idea where I'm going wrong.  I'm finding the veined petal format really challenging and think I need more equipment and more courage.  Gonna have another attempt next week.

I'm siding with the orchid guess.  Though, Bettina, yours is pretty good too ;-).  Don't trash it Katy, and don't give up!  The detail is beautiful!

I really love the veining on the petals and coloring.  It looks really good.

As much as I admire the work of those who make uber realistic flowers, I am tending to lean more to the fantasy flower realm these days. I have made some HUGE flowers that I call peony, but aren't really, They could be a full blown rose, but they're not. They're just something with a lot of petals that masquerades as a real flower, and unless the client is a botanist, they don't care what it is as long as it looks the part.
So I am going to say that this is a dragon flower, that comes from the upper mountainous regions of Uzbekistan and only flowers once every 10 years. It is a symbol of resiliance and strength bonded with beauty and longevity!......so there!
