A cardinal flower stands in delicate botanical detail against a cream ground, its tubular scarlet blooms arranged in a vertical spike with deep green lance-shaped leaves below. The hand-colored illustration captures the flower with precise observation and soft watercolor technique, rendering both the plant's architectural structure and the gentle gradations of red pigment with naturalistic grace. Printed to order on a soft, absorbent mat with a no-slip backing, ready underfoot the moment you step out. The kind of art you don't expect on a bathroom floor.
