Shield the Gods

This flower always reminded me of the sort of thing that gods would live in. Their sort of porcupine-esque home that they could open up when they pleased, but would defend them until the very end. That's where they would go when the going got rough and people decided they didn't exist.

...or it could be some sort of rocketship. Either one.

Taken way back when before I started school this year.

I'm actually not sure what this flower is.
