Woody Stem with Serrated Foliage

Woody stem with serrated foliage runs vertically through the frame and meets small lateral buds at the nodes. Dark green foliage and a reddish-brown, slightly hairy stem are lit from the front against a near-black background in a tight close-up that shows veins and surface texture. Tiny hairs along the stem and a swollen bud at one node are clearly visible at this scale.
