I can't date these precisely, but am pretty sure they date to no later than 2017, as none of the notes from beginning of 2018 to when I used one to string a mouse—sometime between February and April—in my studio notebook mention florals, and as I'd forgotten about them, they've been sitting for awhile when I discovered them in a drawer. The best guess is around March of 2017, when I mention ‘practice floral lentils’—which 2 of these obviously are.

assorted floral trailed practice beads. 2017?

At any rate, I made the post 2 years ago, and though I would like to say my technique (not to mention colour combos) has improved significantly since then...it hasn't. That would make the page 2 years old, and the beads, roughly three, as of this writing.

the same, slightly restyled.

I really must use parameters tighter than ‘this crap needs to be used up’ when deciding on which colours to put together.
