Buttonhole wheel cup stitch

It was very interesting to work this week's TAST stitches. I worked many samples. This is the first one made with cone thread.

 Then I  tried a smaller one, in orange color. And then purple color.

Then I thought of making this.

This stitch suited well for the centre part of the flower. I have used beads at the centre, to make it look like pollens. I might have used black color beads instead for red color so they may look more natural.
