Thanks Mary. I himmed and hawwed over adding those flowers, but I opted not to because nasturtiums also come in reds and yellows (love these–I plant them every year!). Same with marigolds.

I agree, the first example has good characterization to it. I like the snappiness to it, too–better voice. At the end of the day though, those two aren’t quite enough–the passage has to also accomplish the writer’s goals. 🙂

Also, nasturtiums and marigolds, please — (I’m sitting in a friend’s garden, looking at a whole bank of them!)

I have to say that the first example you used told me more about the writer than it did about Wendy! I pictured someone more than a little jealous of Wendy’s figure…
