Blossoming Flower

Design & Diagrams by Gerwin Sturm

A 15cm square of standard Origami paper (Kami) or not too thick Duo-Kraft paper works nicely for this model. Colour-wise the combinations white-green or yellow-green give very nice results. A 15cm square will give a flower about 5cm x 5cm in size.
