Gallery: Triptych progression 1 6x3 Topping Up Lost Images

The concept gallery I made called 'Triptych progression 1', when the thumbnail matrix was in 6x3 format. The gallery in its current form can be seen at:

The idea was that I would create 6 triads (or sets of three linked images) each of which would link together in a progression of ideas, colour, composition or form, then hopefully the last image would then cycle back around to link with the first.

In its first incarnation, this was the rationale I used:

1 The first triad was linked through color and form and a sort of spiky attitude.
(The third image has been lost now - so I am seeking a replacement)
Images 3 and 4 were linked by form and composition.

2 The second triad link was the flame lily (gloriosa, the national flower of Zimbabwe). I liked the idea jolt from abstract flame to tatoo (delicate flower but very solid physical presence) and back to abstract (70s, trippy oil-lamp inspired image).
Images 6 and 7 are still flame lily - but 7 is a minamalist, hyperreal coiled spring of elegance and clarity.

3 The third triad is linked through spirals, green coil to aloe spiral to a spiral vortex created from wine glasses.
Images9 and 10 are both spirals but we have passed from the irrational uncontrolled to clear, calm study. (A book tunnel image used in my 'big yellow' gallery would have been an alternative image here.)

4 The fourth triad is linked by books and reading and the love it inspires (and also the colour scheme).
Images 12 and 13 are linked through hearts.

5 The fifth triad is linked through hearts and mosaic, the 15th image is a quilt of rose (stained-glass) windows, which is like a millefiore cane in a glass paperweight.
The 15th and 16th images are linked through material and form - glass, light, colour a spiral of windows like a strip of film uncoiling.

6 The last triad is linked through colour, light and form, delicacy and developing chaos. We are then back where we started a chaotic, spiky flower form

The gallery is now in a linear 9x2 format, and image 3 has been lost and needs to be replaced. After a search around the jellyfish theme I didn't find one that had the same sort of background colour and diagonal movement that I liked, so I started looking at Chihuly Glass. I came up with some options below and found BaubCat's photostream (seems to have a great feeling for orange and a quirky line in titles!).
