[b] a fine single black meander carrying flower heads and blossoms. [c] a symmetrical floral spray in at least two variations with flower heads above and below at the edging stripes. [d] isolated floral motifs in three variations set diagonally. [e] tall, vertical floral spray carrying flowers and buds and seemingly continuous.
