Flowers.--Work solid. Begin the edge of the petals with Corticelli Filo
Silk, Blue, 746, shading lighter to the center with 745 and 744. Fill
the center with stamens in Red Purple, 675, placing a French knot at
head of each stamen in Green, 781. See Colored Plate XIV. Work the part
of calyx nearest the petals with Green, 662, and that nearest the stem
with 663. Over this green make a few stitches like an inverted V "Λ,"
in 675. Work the seed pod in the same shades as the calyx, putting a
few stitches in 675 on the edges as shown by Colored Plate XIV.
Leaves.--Work solid, making the points in 661, shading gradually darker
to the center with 662, 663. For the stem use 664, making two lines of
stem stitch, or use outline stitch, but slant the stitches more than
usual. (Not Difficult.)
