Flowers and Leaves

Instructions
1. Wash the papaya, cut it into three-inch-long sections, peel them, and then cut in half lengthwise.
2. Carve a rose bud in the center of the flower. Carve six expanded petals radiating from the center, cut two curves in the outer edge of each petal, and remove flesh from beneath.
3. Carve the six pointed petals of the second circle, centering them between the petals of the first circle. On the upper surface of each, cut two grooves.
4. Cut the outline of the leaf, make grooves to represent the midrib and veins, and notch the edges. Gently trim the remaining flesh away from the flower and leaf.
