Here’s a photo of the first 2 finished flowers.

This petal is embroidered with the colors 225 (2174) and 963 (1013).

This one is embroidered with colors 225 (2174), 963 (1013), and 3688 (3022).

To embroider this third petal, use colors 963 (1013) and 3688 (3022).

This petal is the darkest in the pattern and is made with colors 718 (3044), 3726 (4634), and 3834 (4636).

I used colors 3688 (3022) and 3803 (3046) to embroider this petal, which sits on top of the previous one.

To embroider this, the most important petal of the flower, start by covering most of the surface with color 225 (2174), respecting the direction of the stitches, then add color 963 (1013) and finish with a few stitches of color 3688 (3022) towards the center of the flower.

Finally, cover the empty center of the flower with the color 3752 (131) and add star-shaped straight stitches with the color 550 (941).
