    Arrange petals in a circle and sew together. Sew front petals on back petals as shown

    Use the florist wire and the beads to make
    pollen. Thread 3 beads and twirl the wire
    back to the centre (about 2cm long). Repeat
    this a few times. Sew into the centre of the
    blossom.

    Caulis
    Starting at the bottom

    use green yarn


    chain 2
    6 sc in 2nd from hook
    Rnd 1: 2 sc in each st around (12)

    last Rnd: *2 hdc in next st, 2 tc in next st, 2
    tc in next st, 2 hdc in next st

    Bud with Caulis

    Rnd 3: sc around
    Rnd 4: *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st (18)
    Rnd 5: sc around
    Rnd 6: *sc in next 3, 2 sc in next st (22)
    Rnd 7-15: sc around
    Rnd 16: *sc in next 3, sc2tog (18)
    Rnd 17: *sc in next st, sc2tog (12)
    Stuff bud and continue with sc until caulis is 13cm long, insert wire.

    Leaves (make 2)
    starting at the tip

    use green yarn


    chain 2
    6 sc in 2nd from hook
    Rnd 1: 2 st in each st around (12)
    Rnd 2: *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st (18)
    continue working sc until the leaf is 10cm long, insert wire and push it to the edges

    Soil
    Cut out the cardboard circle before you crochet the soil. The circle should fit perfectly into
    the pot 1-2cm below the edge. This pattern worked for me, but you might have to adjust it
    if you crochet less tight.

    use brown yarn


    chain 2
    6 sc in 2nd from hook
    Rnd 1: 2 sc in each st around (12)
    Rnd 2: *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st (18)
    Rnd 3: *sc in next 2, 2 sc in next st (24)
    Rnd 4: *sc in next 3, 2 sc in next st (30)
    Rnd 5: *sc in next 4, 2 sc in next st (36)
    Rnd 6: *sc in next 5, 2 sc in next st (42)
    Rnd 7: *sc in next 6, 2 sc in next st (48)
    Rnd 8: *sc in next 7, 2 sc in next st (54)
    under ideal circumstances the soil now matches the cardboard circle perfectly
    Rnd 9: *sc in next 5, sc2tog
    Rnd 10: *sc in next 3, sc2tog insert cardboard after the first half
    Rnd 11: *sc in next 1, sc2tog
    End with a slpst and leave long end for sewing.
    A quicker solution would be to crochet the soil as big as the circle, fasten off and just sew
    both together.
    Use a sharp pencil or a tiny screwdriver to
    make a whole into the cardboard and
    through the middle of the soil. Pull the
    caulis+blossom wire through and sew the
    caulis to the soil.
    Apply tension to the wire inside the caulis
    and secure it as shown on the picture.
    In case of need use a gripper to force the
    needle through the cardboard.
    Use the same technique for the 2nd caulis
    and sew leaves to soil.
    Secure soil inside the pot using hot glue.
