A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream vellum depicts vibrant orange blooms on a green stem. A large, dense flower head faces forward near the top, while a second bloom below tilts to reveal its green base. A smaller bud rises to the right. Pointed green leaves sprout along the stalk, framed by a red and gold border. Faint outlines from the reverse show through the translucent vellum.
