A further dense cluster of peonies is shaded pale pink and cream with foliage in turquoise and green to one side. The underside of the scroll is decorated with pale green cell-diaper and there is another thin scroll with turquoise brocade-diaper underside placed vertically beneath to show a humming bird perched on a trailing stem of crimson peony shading to white. All reserved against a dark purplish-pink ground between two chrysanthemm flowerheads in white tinged with green. The underside is entirely blue.
