An image of a magnolia flower cuves from the bottom a white plant to the top, its flower opening in the middle. Leaves of varying shades of green curl off of the stem, some growing upward toward the top of the plate, some growing downward toward the bottom. Above the flower, at the top center, a butterfly faces downward toward the center of the plate. To the right of the flower on the right side of the plate's rim, another butterfly turns inward to the left, also toward the center of the plate.
