During landing, as the airplane was approximately 10 feet from the approach end of the runway, and 3 feet above the ground, the pilot "stalled the airplane." The airplane then touched down in a 3-point landing attitude, the landing gear sank in the soft turf, and the airplane nosed over.
The pilot's improper flare and his failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in a stall and a hard landing.
