If you thought the flowers in this picture by Elspeth Diederix were really red and had a blue stem, then think again.

Like all the flowers in her Florals series, these have been enhanced, in this case by adding colour. One of the points Diederix wants to make is that while humankind has been experimenting with plants for centuries now, in this day and age of genetic engineering, who knows what’s natural and what’s not.
