Flowers as "lilies" in this scripture of the Bible, are more beautifully adorned than any earthly king in his pomp and riches.

Many flowers auditioned for this painting, and several could have won, but the humble pansy made the dazzling cut, due in part, to its ability to resemble flames of fire radiating out from its center. If you look closely, it also contains 5 out of 7 colours of the rainbow.
