Louise has posted a pink gerbera on her page Louise Docker Photography. I love these flowers. Wikipedia says it is the fifth most used cut flower in the world and guess what?… I believe them. Their vibrant coloured petals are contrasting so beautifully against the black middle.

I love your gerbera they are exactly like the flowers I had for my wedding, hot pink with black centres, you are so clever.
Thanks for this! How big is the finished flower?

Are you in process of making it? Do you find the pattern difficult?
