Sketching Plants

I originally had some technical difficulties uploading my weekly blog posts with images from my iPhone, so I decided to try two separate posts. Here it goes...

This is the plant I attempted to sketch. I identified it as Lady's Ttesses, spiranthes romanzoffiana, using the Cascades & Olympics Field Guide. I could easily be wrong, I don't have much experience in plant ID. The guide says the Tresses like moist places and is between 2"-10" which checks out. 

First and second sketch attempts. Tried to sketch from memory and using the single line.

Third and fourth attempts. Tried using shading and diagrams to capture the unique aspects of the plant.

My final attempt, with as much detail as I could capture.
