How aggressive can botanical illustration get? YES! (It's all in the composition: triangles for the win.) Plus, of course, the most important design element are the thorns. :)

Most fun with art I had in ages. XD

Nice composition indeed, and I really like the depth achieved with sense of flowers and foliage disappearing into an even darker background.
