Lovely pattern, but not quite accurate. In nature, flowers almost always have an odd number of petals. I googled poinsettias, just to be sure. Most images I found had seven large petals, with five smaller inner petals. Flowers always look better if made with an odd number of petals. Otherwise, I really like this one. I am making several with a glitter yarn, to use on a scarf.
