Published by Éditions Graphiques Internationales, Paris From Dalí’s suite FlorDali / Surrealist Flowers (1972), in which familiar blooms are grafted with everyday objects. Here a spray of narcissus and daffodils sprouts telephone receivers in place of several blossoms, the bulb resting on a rotary dial — a play on Dalí’s recurring narcissus and telephone motifs.
