Hi Jane. This is a lovely drawing! I like how the leaf is handled with a light wash, so the bud can take full attention. I might add a bit more detail as it attaches to the stem and up to the first two leave, but only slightly. The only thing that bothers me is the very center of the flower. It seems to lose color and detail. There would be a highlight for sure, but also a shadow to define the form.
