Before they are gone

My red Christmas Cactus flowers don't last very long.  Neither do the white.  But the pink seem to last several days and still have buds to open.  The display this year is the best yet so I'm trying to capture the flowers at different angles while I can.

Here is a 9 x 12 sheet of various flowers and buds as I turn one plant to capture the various stages and angles of these gorgeous blossoms.  They are getting easier for me to sketch.

Generic Sketchbook and Pilot Prera with Lexington Gray ink.  Green and Dark Pink watercolor pencil.
