Original artwork description:

This is a heathr flower painted in botanical illustration style.

I found a nice legend about Heather flower:

According to a Scottish legend, Malvina, daughter of a Celtic bard, was engaged to a warrior named Oscar. Oscar was killed in battle, and the messenger that delivered the news gave her heather as a token of Oscar’s love. As her tears fell on the heather, it turned white. Though she was sad, she wished happiness on others and hoped that anyone who found white heather would have good luck.

Purple heather symbolizes admiration and solitude.
