Dahlia Blooms on Fern Floor Near Incheon

Flat noon light spreads across a dense cluster of dahlia blooms that open wide like porcelain dinner plates. Soft overcast diffusion softens the edges of deep red and cream petals resting against a carpet of dark green fern fronds. A visible heat haze shimmers above the forest floor, blurring distant stems into the background while foreground flowers remain sharp and textured. Heavy blooms hang low beside upright ferns, their ruffled layers catching the pale sky. The distance recedes in clear steps as the haze thickens. One fallen petal lies across a wet frond at the bottom edge.
