About this work
On a tight, horizontal branch grow right-pointing side shoots bearing forget-me-nots and three types of cup flowers. The sharp zigzag shells show a double contour, consisting of a leaf and a pearl border, with a leaflet attached at each point. In the field a scatter pattern of hanging daisies. Alençon lace.
