The petals are covered with ceramic tile mosaic. Six pistils rise out of the center of the flower and are colored dark blue-green, yellow, orange, burgundy and green. The sculpture and base stand in a shallow three-point fountain pool. The bottom of the pool has tile mosaic which reflects the concentric shape of the fountain.
