Close-up of a single red wax begonia bloom. The background is softly blurred and dark. The main flower has two larger horizontal petals, and smaller narrow petals, both with visible white brushtroke-like veins and an uneven, shimmery texture. Some edges appear slightly worn or dried. The smaller petals have dark marks as it dries. The center features long pale yellow stamens, some curling downward. There are parts of other blooms visible on the right. The larger petal of the main flower looks like it's getting kissed by the petal behind it.
