Crochet Plant Beginning

I wanted to make something for mum's nameday. I probably won't manage to finish it in time, which doesn't matter much as it's a rather silly project..

It should be a ground plant. What you can see is foundation chain. 12m of foundation chain :-D

This is how I made the first leaf. For leaves I use half double crochet or double crochet. So I finished the chain and went a bit back with HDC stitches.

At the top I inserted several stitches into each loop so that it made a rounded point of the leaf.

Then I continued crocheting, when I get to the chain I always use HDC as a stem.
