In the center of the image, there is a bouquet of various flowers, including blue, white, and yellow blossoms, surrounded by green leaves and ferns. The color palette is predominantly dark, and the dark green foliage is hard to distinguish in places against the black background. The flowers are arranged closely together, with stems and leaves extending outward. There is a small cluster of red berries hanging on the left side of the bouquet.
