This looks like a sword on the left is spliting the stem in two. I’m a big fan of green and I thought this had some nice shades of green. The lines and "peach fuzz" on the stem are added textures that I liked.

Lanterns in the wind found in downtown Nagano City, Japan near the place where I go to the Dentist. I had 15 minutes to kill and saw these.
