Detailed Description
A botanical illustration depicts a cluster of colorful flowers and a butterfly against a plain, light cream background. A large, full pink peony with numerous layered petals, ranging from deep pink at its center to lighter pink and white at its edges, is positioned in the center-left. To its upper left is a large yellow chrysanthemum with many thin, radiating petals, and a smaller yellow chrysanthemum appears below it. To the upper right of the peony, a single blue rose with layered petals, a vivid sky blue, is visible. Perched directly above the blue rose is a butterfly with dark brown wings, each featuring prominent orange and blue eye-spots. Its body is dark. Dark green leaves and stems, some with visible thorns, intertwine around and beneath the flowers. To the lower right, a cluster of small red berries on thin green stems extends outwards from the main floral arrangement.
