“Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you? – Fanny Brice
In the Victorian Era flowers had meanings. People employed flowers as a method of communication, they had their own language. Flowers were used to communicate feelings and thoughts. The selection and gifting of flowers were done with the intent of sending a message.
Tonight’s image is a Cockscomb that I photographed when visiting a wildflower garden at the orchard yesterday. The definition of Cockscomb is affectation, which means a false appearance or assumption of a state, quality, or manner. I think the quote above is a nice representation of the word affectation.
