How I do this?

Hi Rudy,

I took a slightly different approach, so not sure if this idea/version is any good for you?
This was done really quickly, so it would pay to rebuild it & take some time.

I basically created a curved arc shape & used Rail Revolve around a small circle.
This gave me a trumpet curved shape.
Then I created half of the basic flower shape using Freeform.
I switched on points & adjusted them to get a better looking half petal shape.
Mirrored the half petal & Joined it together.

I then did an Array Circular with the petal shape.
Then selected the trumpet shape & the 5 petal shapes, I used Boolean Merge to finish it off.

All the relevant curves are hidden in the 3DM file.

Hope it's of use, Colin
