A Chinese Lily 
The unusual shape of this flower, beautiful though it is, 
shows how even flowers respond to the ideals of those whom 
they grow to please. The very lines of this lily suggest dragons 
and those other weird shapes which are pleasing to the eye 
of the Oriental. This transformation in flowers was 
worked in the same way that the fransformation of 
the pear, described here, was brought about.
