A vertically oriented watercolor botanical illustration on vellum depicts diverse flowers within a double red border. A tall, central purple anemone rises between a cluster of orange cup-shaped flowers to the left and branched purple blossoms to the right. Faint gray bands stretch vertically behind the plants, while pink and violet blooms fill the upper corners. Thin green stems anchor the arrangement within the pale, rectangular field of the page.
