Again, solid and calming. Beautiful toning. Beautiful drawing. I might suggest a more careful shadow behind the flower on the leaves. Just so it separates and pops up into the foreground a bit more.

The mid-veins in these leaves feel a little rigid to me. I would work on making those a bit more graceful. Also consider adding some other colors to those greens, to give the leaves some more color variation; so they are not all exactly the same. Sometimes I like to choose one or two to make a bit darker, one or two a bit lighter, and even add some other greens like earth green yellowish, cadmium yellow lemon, olive green, etc, just so our eyes dance around the leaves a bit more. What is the name of this plant? It’s lovely.
I see what you mean. At least I could have faded them out a bit towards the leaf edge. Next time because this piece has been sold! Thanks for your feedback
