Where is this pattern telling me to make fpdc on round 5??

Understanding a pattern

apparently white st markers are supposed to indicate where to make stitches when i'm told to make them "inside fpdc s" from last round, but I just don't understand. does it mean between the 2 fpdc sts from round 4 (which would be the second fpdc stitch)? but the right white st marker is not in that stitch. do i make fpdc on top of every fpdc sts from last round, ignoring the description about Figure 1 and making fpdc sts in both white and blue st markers?

this is what the end product is supposed to look like. can someone please explain it to me where im making fpdc sts, in the fpdc sts from round 4 or the fpdc posts. i find the wording of this section of this pattern very confusing.

pattern name is Waterlily hotpad and the author's name is in the first image
