The stem is made of bobbin lace over felted cat fur. The flowers are needle lace. The lace leaves are machine embroidered. Beading techniques were used on the insects.
This flower is a sub-Saharan desert rose. On the stem of the adenium is a beaded giraffe-necked weevil which is endemic to Madagascar and an imaginary beetle made from a cabochon bought in Madagascar.
