This is a close-up of a single flower with long, pointed petals. The petals are dark and slightly rough-looking, with a lighter center. The stem is thin and splits near the base into two parts. The artist used shading to make the flower look three-dimensional. The dark lines and shadows add depth to the petals and stem. Look up Blossfeldt, Karl next to see more of his plant photography.
