Another two-fer

The gentians started blooming in a new garden I'm making.  I wanted to draw them yesterday but didn't have a chance to cut a few so I made do with an online photo:

Today I sat out in the garden beside the scabiosa caucasica 'Alba' and sketched.  I think it has such pretty flowers.  The plants are taking a long time to establish themselves in my garden, which makes every blossom that much more precious.  It's breezy out so I was holding the stem still with one hand and drawing with the other, arms crisscrossed because the plant had to be on my right and I'm handed.  Challenging!
