The image displays a single, dried rose bud

The image displays a single, dried rose bud. The rose is oriented with its head pointed downwards and its shriveled stem extending upwards and to the left. Its petals are faded, exhibiting colors primarily in hues of orange, yellow, and deep reddish-pink, particularly visible at the lower edges of the petals. Segments of the thin, dark brown stem with small thorns are visible extending above the bud. A distinct shadow is cast by the rose's head onto the light gray, granular surface below it. In the upper right portion of the frame, a segment of a uniformly bright red, rectangular object is visible, positioned adjacent to the rose stem and the gray surface. The environment is indistinct beyond these visible elements. The location in the city of Lompoc, United States, cannot be determined from the visual content of this image.
