The naturalistic treatment of the plants structure with even the minutest knots and bulges and the leaves displaying mid-ribs with parallel venation is thoroughly maintained. The stem is thick and sturdy enough to hold the crowding leaves. The leaves have a protruding mid-rib and sharply cut edges. The front and back of the leaf is clearly shown, proving that its not just an ornamental drawing but a study done after close observation. The flower itself is unusual with no petals but formed of stamen like features. The artist uses various shades of orange for the flower and tips are painted in yellow. Each shade of green, from the palest to the darkest is used for the leaves which are by no means delicate, nor is the flower of the usual dainty variety.
The pale background helps in brightening up in relief, the flowering plant as a whole, as well as enhance its vertical movement.
