Description
The complementary orange and blue colors of this stylized sunflower and butterfly design catch the eye immediately. The title, "Circle of Life", comes both from the oval layout of the flowers, leaves, and insects and from the fact that the subjects themselves represent the importance of the relationship between pollinators and plants, dependent one upon the other for their very existence. The butterflies here are monarchs, Danaus plexippus; Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, is most often yellow but orange and bronze varieties are increasingly popular.
