Pattern for the design

-----------------------

I have used six strands of thread throughout the design.  Embroidered the flowers using blanket stitch and whipped each blanket stitch in contrast colour.  For the stems I have used split back stitch.  For the leaves I have done the simple fishbone stitch but with two colors.  In the centre of the flowers added three french knots.
