The image displays a single, large, open, deep pink to reddish-pink Hollyhock flower (Alcea rosea) in a vertical orientation, dominating the central and upper-central frame. The flower exhibits numerous radially arranged petals with visible venation, surrounding a prominent yellowish-white central stamen column. A green stem extends both above and below the main bloom. Above the primary flower, multiple green, tightly closed flower buds are visible along the stem, one featuring a small hint of red at its tip. Below the main flower, additional green buds and some dried, faded floral remnants are present on the stem. The background is out of focus, indicating a shallow depth of field. In the immediate lower foreground, green foliage, possibly from the same plant, and patches of green grass are visible alongside dark brown soil. A light-colored concrete or paved border runs horizontally through the mid-ground. The far background consists of blurred dark green trees against a lighter sky, suggesting an outdoor garden or park setting. No people or specific man-made structures are discernible beyond the paved border. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight. This botanical scene is located in Gisenyi, Rwanda.
