English term or phrase: sinewy stems
There are lots of ***sinewy stems*** going on and the stems have black dots, it was all a bit heavy and ugly, but they were very nice simple shapes’
Речь идет об узоре на обоях. Не совсем понимаю, что означает слово sinewy в данном контексте. Заранее благодарна за помощь

Hepatica is a survivor, capable of enduring cruel winters and harsh summers, and content in dry, rocky woods with just a small patch of ground. The little wildflower launches sinewy stems that flex easily in early spring gales, and it’s one of the earliest to bask in the bright sunshine – before leaves even break bud. http://www.learn2grow.com/gardeningguides/wildflowersnatives...
