Exhibit of Chinese Narcissus Bulb Carving

11 Feb 2012

Bulb sections are carefully cut open to reveal a pouch at the base of each sprout. 
This is carefully bruised or scored causing a scab to form, which makes the leaves curl as they grow. 
By selectively scoring some sprouts the artisan can control which parts curl and which grow straight,
allowing them to create all sorts of shapes.
