when making a rosette, you start with one hexie (the center) then multiple of 6 for the next rounds. 6, 12, 18 etc. if you are doing a traditional GFG layout, you would use 6 and 8, then the 18 for the path, but the path would only go on every other flower. Hope this makes sense. There are so many different layouts that it is difficult to give a # with out knowing the layout you are using. If you have a photo, you could just count the hexies.
