Tulip - Edited Version
I decided that the yellow tulip was not really deep enough and so have edited the pattern to give an extra row of rings and chains on each petal.
This time I have done a two colour flower as tulips often have a very dark centre.
The centre chains are made with double double stitches to give extra support to the flower without having to wire the petals, as I did with my very first tulip pattern in my book From Petals To Pearls. This makes for a much easier way to assemble the finished flower!

Continuing with the hyacynth
No pictures just yet but I am continuing with the hyacynth. I have done a pink one and a purple one and now I am in the process of doing a white one. When the white one is done I will arrange all three into a little pot and post a pic.
I am now seriously thinking of writing a new flower book on flowering bulbs, so if you have a favourite, let me know what you think should be in the book.
I asked the same question with the Summer Collection of Tatted Flowers book and got some really good suggestions!
