A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream vellum depicts five rounded, golden-orange flowers blooming on slender green stems. Concentric, tightly packed petals form each head, arranged with three at the top and two below. The plant is centered within two nested, red rectangular borders. Faint, ghostly botanical impressions appear in the background, while the left side reveals the weathered leaf edges of a bound book.
