Explanation of the pistil
Explanation of the chalice
Cut about 10 cm of galvanized iron wire. In the center, wrap a little cotton (the same used for the pistil) to create a small ball. Twist the iron wire on itself for about 1 cm to block the cotton and create the small union stem of the flower.
Insert the iron wire in the first initial chain of the pistil and then insert it in the flower. Also insert the glass and cover the small stem with cotton by working the chains around it. The remaining wire will serve to connect the flower to the main stem.
Do the same job for medium and small flowers too. The small flower does not need a pistil.
For the bud always cut about 10 cm of galvanized iron wire and insert the 2 ends at the beginning of the bud. Always twist the iron wire on itself to create the small stem. Insert the glass and cover the stem with cotton.
Cut a piece of plasticized iron wire of the appropriate length and thickness for the work being carried out. Bend a tip with the help of pliers to form a small knot.
Work a bud until the second round. Insert the stem into the bud. Close the second round with the small knot in the stem inside. Continue with the third round of the bud and close the work. Insert the glass.
Fasten all buds, small flowers, medium flowers and large flowers to the stem.
Start from the top of the stem and then from the buds.

2nd round: 1 single crochet, 2 half double crochet in one point, 2 double crochet in one point, 8 triple crochet (make 3 increases), 3 double crochet, 3 half double crochet, 5 single crochet. Repeat the same on the other side.
Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire that makes the complete turn of the leaf plus another 3 cm more per side. Insert it on the leaf by working around a round of single crochet.
Stretch the leaf well by modeling it with your hands, twist the iron wire on itself for about 2 cm. Cover the small stem created with cotton by working around the chains. The remaining wire will be used to connect the leaf to the main stem.
Explanation of the large leaf
Cast on 30 chain stitches.
1st round: 1 single crochet, 1 half double crochet, 1 double crochet, 9 triple crochet, 5 double crochet, 5 half double crochet, 7 single crochet. Repeat the same on the other side of the chain starting from the 7 low stitches.
2nd round: 1 low stitch, 2 high half stitches in one stitch, 2 high stitches in one stitch, 14 double high stitches (do 5 stitches increase), 5 high stitches, 5 half high stitches, 7 low stitches. Repeat the same on the other side.
Cut a piece of galvanized iron wire that makes the complete turn of the leaf and continue with the same procedure as for the medium leaf.
Fasten the medium and then the large leaves to the stem, just below the flowers.
Cover the stem with cotton by working the chains around it, except for about 3 cm which will be inserted into the vase.
Shape everything with your hands.
As always I hope to have explained everything better.
