This painting shows yellow and white flowers with long green stems. Some bulbs are drawn at the bottom, with roots spreading out. The flowers look fresh, like they’re just blooming. The colors are soft—mostly pale yellows and greens. The artist focused on the whole plant, not just the flowers. You can see how the bulbs grow into stems and then bloom. This kind of drawing was often used to study plants. Look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to make soft colors.
