A Collection of Crochet Flowers Tutorial

I decided that I needed some flowers in my world.  Spring is approaching, but it's just not soon enough for me!  I Made these last week and wrote down a pattern of sorts for all three flower variations.  I used cotton, but I have also used many other types of yarn!  There are instructions in the patterns to change color if you wish, they look great all pretty and colorful too!  I do have to apologize for the photos ..... it's too early and the light just isn't right . I'll try to get some better photos soon!
