Flamingo 06 – Flamboyance of Flamingos
Did you know that a group of flamingos is called a flamboyance?
A bunch of crows goes by the dramatic name of “murder,” and a gathering of geese is known as a “gaggle.” But what about flamingos? Well, those funky birds go by the wonderfully flamboyant title of “flamboyance” when they come together! They also answer to the names of “stand,” “colony,” and “pat” when they’re feeling a bit more low-key.
In the wild, flamingos have quite the social scene, sometimes throwing parties with thousands of guests! It’s like a flamingo fiesta out there. Scientists estimate that there are more than 200,000 Caribbean flamingos living it up in the wild, from the Bahamas and Cuba to Mexico and the Southern Caribbean, with a cool group of about 400-500 in the Galápagos Islands. It’s like the flamingo vacation hotspot!
Which made me think…are the flamingos in this design truly a flamboyance or merely a colony or stand? Either way, I hope you enjoy stitching up this design!
The Pattern
I recently came across a set of watercolor flamingos. I decided to purchase the rights to create some cross stitch designs. These flamingos truly are attractive and charming subjects for cross stitch patterns.

When converting watercolor artwork into cross stitch patterns, I knew it was important to consider the level of detail and intricacy to ensure that the essence of the original artwork was preserved. Additionally, the choice of color palette and the number of thread shades can greatly impact the final results, so I created the designs each using two sizes of stitch counts, as well as different number of colors of DMC threads used.
It’s fascinating to witness the transformation of a two-dimensional artwork into a three-dimensional textured piece through the art of cross stitching.
