The flowers include four complex, composite blossoms of the hatÃ¢yÃ® type and a variety of rosettes. At the top of the composition, the reed-like stem is shown broken. The damaged border shows a row of six-petal rosettes flanked top and bottom by four-petal rosettes, only half of which are shown, all appearing white against the dark-blue ground.
