Holi Crochet Motif

Friends,
You read the heading and you may think I spelled it wrongly, isn't it? But no, it's not spelling mistake, the name is by the name of the Indian festival Holi.  This festival, Holi indicates victory of good over evil, it also represents arrival of colourful spring and hence it is the festival of colours.
This crochet motif is also full of colours, so I think this name will be perfect!
Before this I had done a single coloured thread crochet motif which I had already posted here,

This thread motif is a pattern given in some book whereas that holi motif is my own pattern made by wool. I remember the story of making of this motif. I had visited some art exhibition along with my sister ( My youngest sister lived in the same city so generally we used to visit such exhibitions together). We saw such motif in that exhibition, we liked it but we didn't purchase it, saying that "oh! we can make it at home".  Then we came to know that one of her friend purchased it, so I asked my sister to bring that motif for one day so that I could make just duplicate of that. She brought it and I made it.

The central portion is very simple just done by puff  stitch which can be seen here,

Plated frill

I have to face some difficulty in making these plates. I made it by decreasing two stitches of corner in each plate and increasing two stitches in the centre of the plate.
