A straight diagonal stem links these to a repeat of the lowest light blue and white blossom. Surrounding the star are 4 angular sections with a light brown ground and faded red outer border. Each contains a central blossom and a pair of tulips. This arrangement leaves 4 light blue corner segments each containing a blossom and a pair of leaves.
