A violet flower. The flower fills almost the whole frame, and is shot slightly from below. The flower is a deep purple with a white throat and yellow inside it. The stigma are visible either side of the throat. The stem rises behind the flower, lifting it out of a blurred background, showing the brown and orange tones of the woodland beyond the out of focus leaves. There are 5 petals. The centre bottom is largest and is curved up at either side. The base of the petal is white up to about a quarter of its length with deep thin purple stripes extending into the purple of the petal almost halfway down the petal. There are 8 stripes, the centremost being the longest and then getting shorter in an elegant curve to either side so that they reach only to the point where the side petals meet the lower petal. The side petals cup around the lowest petal like hands, with the upper edges slightly bent over. The base of the petals has the stigma which are little white translucent brushes almost meeting across the throat of the flower, and they extend as far as the white in the lower petal. The final 2 petals curve back so that they stand vertically like bunny ears pointing to either side. The throat of these petals is hidden by the angle so they appear a slightly rumpled even purple, like the other petals. The throat of the flower hides an almost orange yellow anther with a pale green stamen with a few tiny white dots of pollen on it. Behind the flower the stalk curves up, bent down by the weight of the flower. The stalk is a light verdant green wiht a faint striated texture, and it goes out of focus behind the right hand petal down into the foliage.
