linen roses

i don’t know what combination of light, lens, focal length, and raw materials created this effect, but these roses look to me like little rolled up wads of linen bandages. i wonder what injury would necessitate a tea rose bandage. perhaps the compound fracture of a forearm hair. a torn thumbnail tip. a bleeding eyebrow pore. i hope i die of whatever it is they will need to treat with rose bandages. they can just leave the used ones scattered around my hospital bed.
