Vase Mystery

At night, I was lying in bed and happened to glance over at a vase full of flaming red flowers in my room. In the darkness, the silhouette looked like a beautiful girl with her head down and with her hair flying behind her. I quickly drew a sketch of her in bed so I wouldn't forget what I'd seen and then fell asleep. Later, I altered this image to my liking (for one thing, the dark vase I morphed to appear to be a dress). The shape of the flowers I kept, but only the outline - for the hair. This is not the first time something I've seen has struck me as mysteriously like something else, however, I believe I have never yet been as intruiged by such a happening...
