Wrapped coral stitch

TAST stitch 72 is wrapped coral stitch. This stitch was new to me, so I first stitched a few rows on 18 count linen. My first row is done in perle 5.

The second row is done in Caron Wildflowers. 

This last row is stitched in Caron Watercolours. First I made a row from left to right, then a second row from right to left joined to the first row. I decorated it with straight stitches.

This is a combo of coral stitch and wrapped coral stitch on 14 count Aida. 
Both threads are perle 5. It would be a nice CQ seam.

Here you can see how I stitched it. This is how it should look at the backside, the red lines are wrapped coral stitches, the blue lines coral stitches.

I thought this stitch could be a pretty flower too. I stitched them on the garden sampler, which I started for the &Stitches stitchalong. I stitched the wrapped coral stitch with Stef Francis perle 5 and added colonial knots with perle 8. The detached chain stitch leaves are done with silk buttonhole twist.

And this is how my garden sampler looks today.
