This is the stem version, so theres a whole lot more to it than just the flower head. The bloom sits at the top, petals fanning out from the center spiral in bright red and dark red layers, and then a long green stem drops straight down with leaf pairs branching off on both sides. The two greens do a nice job separating the leaf shapes from the stem, and the black outlines at the base of each leaf keep everything crisp. Five colors, 4 color changes, and at the 3.51 inch width you're already at 23,392 stitches.
Run the large 7.51 inch size on tote bags, pouches, and jacket sleeves where the vertical shape fills portrait spaces naturally. The full 54,039 stitches at max size is a proper project but its worth it for the layered petal depth you get.
Back it with cutaway for anything with stretch, tearaway works fine on denim or canvas. Keep your tension consistent on the narrow stem section or the satin can shift sideways. Pop a medium topping on any fluffy fabric to stop the leaf fill sinking.
Stems are my go-to recommendation if someone wants a single floral that looks like it came from a garden rather than a greeting card. One customer last spring ordered this specifically for a series of tote bags she was selling at a farmers market, said it was her best-selling design that season. Text me if youre unsure about thread substitutions and Ill help you match your thread range.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
