I have had some good luck the past few times in choosing flowers at my grocery store.

An Enchanted Charm: Fiction Friday
The Friday Fictioneer Challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo.

An Enchanted Charm
Isabelle returned from vacation to a new org chart, a new assignment. In her absence they moved her desk to the basement. Until the project started, they told her, she could “get things ready.”
Her new work space was in a storage room behind a security lock; only a few people had entry access. She brought in flowers from her garden. In the comfort of the forced isolation, Isabelle completed the required research.
The project started: people everywhere, deadlines looming, phones ringing. Isabelle brought flowers every week, considering them an enchanted charm, protecting her from the imposed insanity around her.

A Lily Indoors
While I had the white background set up, I photographed a lily.
A Rose Indoors
This is my first attempt to photograph a flower indoors, against a black backdrop. I bought the rose at my grocery store along with the black construction (or poster) paper.
I only had one floor lamp (usually used for sewing) shining its light onto the rose and now that I post the photo, I can see the flower’s shadow. Funny how there are so many things I don’t see until I post a photo online. It goes along with not seeing any errors in an email until after you have sent it.
Here is the rose two days later, using a white background.
