Orchids

Instructions
1. Cut the tubers in half from top to bottom.
2. Cut into the center of the flat side with the carving knife and then make a circular cut around the center. While cutting, twist the wrist up and down slightly to give the center of the flower a wavy surface.
3. Carve the two large petals on opposite sides of the center, again twisting the wrist slightly to give them a wavy surface. Remove the flesh to the sides of the petals.
4. In the same way, carve the two small petals between the large ones.
5. Remove the flesh from beneath the petals and you will have a white orchid. Use a paintbrush to daub the center of the flower attractively with yellow food coloring.
