This stage of the painting takes time! I try not to commit the paint until I'm as sure as I can be that I will have it right. Even so I make errors but I find that I can overcome minor errors and sometimes turn them to advantage. Of course, if you view the completed painting for the first time, you would be unaware of the error inspired changes! You will have to look closely between the last post and this one to see progress. I have completed some of the darker leaves on top of the underpainting. I shall leave the sun-lit greener leaves until I feel I have enough of the darker shadowed ones. The reason I have given them a pinkish tinge (may not be evident on the photo) with the underpainting and a wash on top when completed, is that the dark leaves are in the shadow of the flowers and some of the flower colour will be reflected there but not on the leaves in full light.
