The image features a small plant with purple flowers growing in sandy soil. The plant has five-petaled flowers that are pale lilac to pinkish-purple in color and have yellow stamens at their centers. The leaves are dark green and have deeply cut lobes, giving the plant its name "Cutleaf Heron's bill."
The flower stems emerge from a rosette of leaves at the base of the plant, which is growing directly out of the sand. In the background, there are other plants with similar flowers, as well as some brownish-yellow objects that may be rocks or driftwood.
