This painting shows five different daffodils with their bulbs and roots exposed. The flowers vary in color—some are bright yellow, others pale yellow and white. The bulbs are brown and small, with thin roots hanging below. The stems are tall and slender, with long green leaves. The artist focused on showing both the flowers and their bulbs, which was unusual for the time. This kind of detail was often used in scientific drawings to help people study plants. Try looking up *watercolor* to see how artists use layers of thin paint to create depth.
