Hi all,
I am looking for tutorial or something on making a sunflower.. i know how to make a simple one but I want to make one that looks real, or as close to it as possible so I need to understand the stem and the peddles. If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would be so greatful.. I only have a couple of weeks.. My daughter 20th Bday.. Yikes
Thank you in advance.

Here's what came up in a google search...

I find it helpful to buy the most realistic silk version of the flower I want to make and deconstruct it.
