Watercolor of a blackberry branch with clusters of white five-petaled flowers, serrated green leaves, and buds on a cream background.

Highbush Blackberry (Rubus argutus)

A branch of white five-petaled blossoms with yellow-green centers and serrated green leaves rises diagonally across a pale cream background, with thorny reddish-brown stems and several unopened buds. The botanical watercolor is painted in fine detail, with soft shading on the leaves and a signature in the lower right corner.
