How to crochet Rapunzel

Also known as the "vegetable of the poor". In addition to giving us its beautiful flowers, Rapunzel is also an edible wild plant that is part of the large family of bluebells.
To make the crochet Rapunzel it is necessary to prepare the flower, the bud, the pistil, the calyx and the leaves which are of two different sizes.
Needed: cotton number 20 - 1.0 mm crochet hook - scissors - 0.45 mm galvanized iron wire - wadding - pliers - plasticized iron wire.

For the explanation of the leaves I have taken up that of Digital because they are very similar.
