Orchid, Somewhat Abstracted

I made this pendant for the Wire Artisans Guild theme challenge: 'orchids'.

I'm not the sort of person that knows anything about flowers, but I was captivated by the 'orchid room' at a large conservatory. I couldn't stop snatching pictures of the strange forms, some looking like aliens, in all imaginable shapes, varieties, and vivid colors.

This pendent is my asymmetrical spin on my favorite (usually quite symmetrical) flower.
