This page shows six daffodils with long green stems and bulbs. Some flowers are pale yellow, some white with a red center. The bulbs are drawn with roots hanging down. The page looks old and is held open by a bookmark. The flowers are labeled with Latin names like *Narcissus pseudonarcissus*. This suggests the artist cared about exact types. Check out watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint.
