Finished hand-drawn editorial watercolour illustration, 3:2 landscape. In the left half, one flowering plant rises from a comically squat, wide terracotta garden pot. Its slender green stem curves sideways beneath a coral bloom: one enormous fan-shaped petal sweeps upward and left, while three short rounded petals cluster around a small ochre centre. Two tiny leaves emphasize the exaggerated silhouette. Broad transparent watercolour washes, lively pigment pooling, chunky irregular dark marker contours, simple shapes legible at thumbnail size. An inky blue background wash with a soft amber halo behind the flower suggests warm evening light without depicting a venue. A single loose ground stroke anchors the pot. Leave the right third quiet and mostly unpainted. No intricate detail, diagrams, people, text, logos or watermarks.
