The leaves diminish in size as they near the top of the plant. The flowers are pale pink/mauve in colour. The second flower study depicts six leafless stems coming off a central stalk, ending in five open blue flowers and one bud. The leaves come from the central stalk, are dark green and in multiple parts. Two stamen studies are on the left, and a bud study is lower centre.
