Feb 20/10 update: Pattern 4 exists on $1.45 flower; die cutting mat about 50% complete.

Feb 21/10 update: Pattern 4 exists on 85¢ Flower.

Mar 20/10 update: the 85¢ Flower Pattern 4 is inverted compared to the 50¢ and $1.45 Patter 4. Also included is an illustration of the "press sheet" of the early Flower coils.

July 30/10: Just received a report this morning that Permanent(tm) Flower rolls from a box dated May 18/10 (roll # 178) have a new die cut pattern. The article will be updated when I have seen the new pattern (took quite awhile for this new pattern to appear!)

Earlier versions of this article first appeared in the May-June 2009 Corgi Times (Elizabethan II Study Group bi-monthly journal) and the Jan-Feb 2010 Canadian Philatelist (RPSC bi-monthly journal). The version available here is a much expanded one and includes coil box dates.
