Flowers.—Work solid. For the edge of petals use 655.7, 655.8, shading lighter gradually to the center with 616.5, 123. Give a touch of Pink, 655.9, to some of the petals to give an effect of shadow where the petals lap; but not too much, as the flowers should be quite pale. In the center work a number of short stamens with Green, 781, and make French knots at the points of stamens in Yellow, 504 and 506. Work the buds and half flowers in the same manner, although choose the darker shades for the very small buds. Work the upper part of calyx with Green, 781, and the part near the stem with 782.
