Gladiolus Botanical Cross Stitch Pattern | Summer Floral Design | PDF Download

This vibrant design centers a tall spike of coral-red gladiolus blooms, each with golden-yellow throats, rising from a fan of long, richly shaded green leaves. Cheerful yellow buttercup-style flowers, slender sprigs with tiny red buds, and scattered peachy beads surround the central stem, creating a balanced, symmetrical composition. The warm coral, sunny yellow, and fresh green palette gives the piece a bright, late-summer garden feel, with the crisp, geometric petal outlines adding a modern, stylized touch to a classic botanical subject.
