At the corner of this narrow border is a Chinese pot, square in shape, from which a plant with large, feathery flowers grows along the narrow side border. Colours include cream, red, lime green, dark grey-ish blue, white, pale lilac-pink, bound with creamy yellow silk in the field, purple silk in the border and sage green silk in the outer guard stripe, giving different colours on the surface.
