Means (14 dcs, ch2) 8 times.

Now for Pollen, let us make 22-23 chs by yellow thin yarn. Then make 3-4 knots at one end. Make such 3 pollens. Sew them at centre of the flower as shown. For stiffness of pollen I applied fabric fevicol to these pollen so that after drying, pollen will make stiff.
Make 3 flowers. One of them I made with double yarn.
Now for stem join green yarn at the bottom of the flower means at the centre of R1.
Make chs 20+13.

Lastly sl st 20 in initial 20 chs.
Then take the working loop inside flower and BO.
For other flower make stem little small may be of 12+13 chs instead
 of 20+13 chs as first.


Join these two stems with each other by tapestry needle. 
Then sew third flower at the top facing us.
