Between the faded blue colour and the delicate intricacy of the petals, those flowers put me in mind of old lace or ruffled clothes: fragile, but still lovely.
This is only enhanced by the desaturated red leaves, winding intricately around, suggesting to me the frailty and hazard of age.

And yet there's a glow there, and more peeking through: there is more than that which is frail, glowing on regardless.
So for me right now, this piece is a little melancholy, but maybe a little hopeful, too. I like it! ^_^
The subtle touch of blue in muted colors does bring a mystique feel to them.
Also it's neat looking at it in the dark, as I see the sparkles peeking in the leaves ( *v*) very pretty~
