On the right of this picture can be seen peony (富貴花) and begonia (using one of its names, 齊眉, having the same sound as the “special plum” blossom) flowers, together in a tall, slender blue vase. The names of the flowers appear in the picture’s title inscription as a play on words. On the left of the picture, next to the vase, is a peculiarly shaped cliff.
