Garden Flowers in Black and White

I am starved at this time of year for flowers in the garden and can only dream and look through photos from this year. The colors are amazing but they are wonderful in black and white too.
For this contest, take a picture in black and white or convert to black and white. Mixed Media is ok to enhance. But please stick to black and white, no sepia or other tints. And please no water plants, just garden flowers.

Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Saturday, February 1, 2014.
