A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on vellum depicts an orange day lily centered within a double brown ink border. One large flower opens at the top, showing six pointed petals with fine-lined shading and yellow throats. Below, a small green bud sits to the left, while a partially open orange bud extends rightward. Smooth green stems and a blade-like leaf descend against a background featuring faint, ghostly floral silhouettes.
