As I husked tomatillos for chile verde, it struck me that the discarded husks were really quite lovely and quite photo-worthy. I decided a high key treatment would look better than my generally preferred black background. Although they are from somewhat homely beginnings, these tomatillo husks have a floral appearance and seem almost orchid-like…as from a sow’s ear a silk purse, whence from a humble husk, an orchid.
