fun fact:
The sunflower was a rare subject for O'Keeffe, who painted them on only three occasions.

digital description:
Unlike most of O’Keeffe’s close-up images of flowers, this example appears in a landscape environment, with bloom, stem, and leaves framed against the bright blue Southwestern sky.
