Who is giving you this poor vocabulary advice?

I'm ashamed to say it is another much younger botanical artist [and an art
tutor] who artistically is way, way more proficient than I am .
I had assumed he would have a better understanding of botanical terms,
but what he was telling me didn't ring true with what I had seen described
on other illustrations when I was trying to research the correct terms.
Thank goodness I didn't take him at his word.

Yesterday the botanical illustrator from our local Botanical Gardens had a
look at my drawing for me and she has been extremely helpful so coupled
with what you have all said I am happier with what descriptions to use.

Thank you all for your in put -

I've never been flamed before so even grumpy bum gave me a giggle.
