An artist should let his brushes do the talking, the work should speak for itself.
If it needs a written explanation, and the concept being more important than the image, then it becomes literature and there is no need to see the image, it can be "told" by phone.

Flowers, which are the reproductive organs of flowering plants, are among the most beautiful gifts given to us by Mother Nature. There are more than 270.000 types of flowers, long been admired and used by humans to bring beauty to their surroundings and also as objects of ritual, religion, medicine, a source of food, romance and expressions of many other feelings.
Flowers attract pollinators with their scent, nectar, pollen and color. Some, like certain types of orchids, even use mimicry to seduce them, producing flowers that resemble females in shape, color and scent tricking the male into copulating with it, ensuring that pollen grains are transferred by the pollinator when it visits the next flower.
