Description
A pair of blooms of the Butterfly Ginger (Hedychium Coronarium) which blooms in late summer and early autumn. These two blossoms opened simultaneously and are in almost perfect synchronization, like dancers in a pas de deux. Original photography with texture blending.
In ballet, a pas de deux (French, literally "step of two") is a dance duet in which two dancers, typically a male and a female, perform ballet steps together. The pas de deux is characteristic of classical ballet and can be found in many well-known ballets, including Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, and Giselle.
