1 Silver Orange Blossom . . .

Outer Petals and Outline:  Silver Plated Smooth Purl (size 10)
Center Petal Inside:  Chipping of remnants from various sizes of Smooth and Rough Purl
Outer Stamens:  Silver Plated Bright Check (size 9) with Frosted Silver-lined Glass Japanese Seed Bead
Center Stamen:  90% Silver Bright Check (size 6) with 3mm Clear Bicone Swarovski Crystal
I originally was going to use Smooth Purl cutwork for the entire flower; however because the petal curves out due to it's close proximity to the bust, this created a very flat, saucer like result.  I did not like this, so I ripped it out and replaced it with chipping.
