Edwardian Parrot
Orchid part 2
Here are the explanations and the pictures necessary to embroider the 2 large open flowers at the top of the orchid.
I used the same threads as for the buds but adding the colors 778 and 316 to embroider the corollas. The stamens are made with color 154.

Flower on the right
First, embroider the outline of the corolla with split backstitch 1 thread and the color 778, then indicate the direction of the stitches.
Finish the center of the corolla with color 3756. Then embroider the stamens with straight stitch 1 thread and color 154 to form an arc.
Finish by embroidering the backside of the petal with satin stitch 1 thread and color 963. Be aware to respect the direction of the stitches.
