One thing I always wished I had was artistic talent, but I must have been absent the day that was handed out. But for kicks, I took a class in botanical drawing. The instructor taught some basic techniques for rendering a sketch in pencil and ink, and I found that I could use those techniques that - believe it or not - often resulted in sketches that were recognizable. I'm going to share a couple of my earlier attempts and see if you can guess what the flower is!
