The petal shapes here are defined by the shadows, striping, and leaves. Start with the leaves. Press firmly with a sharp white pencil to draw the central line of each leaf; then add the malachite green edges. Finish the smaller, lower leaves with moss green stripes.

Draw the pollen first with yellow dots made with a very sharp point and a little pressure. Next, lightly add the silky buds with mouse gray in short strokes round the edges and just a hint of scarlet on three buds.

We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.

Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.

 * Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.

 * Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.

 * Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
