After the buttonhole flower yesterday, I was tempted to try out this little modular flower, complete with leaves! This flower was taught to me by an origami friend, some time back. Never got around to doing it. But since I seem to have a new-found enthusiasm for flowers, I decided to give it a go. The flower is made up of five modules.
