Don't they have kind of a pansy shape to them? Maybe you can try that!

They sort of have a yellow orange pansy petals but the base is more like a trumpet throat crossed between a bearded Iris and a daffodil. Thier leaves look like lilly pads which shouldn't be that difficult. Since they are not in season right now, I don't have the flower to look at and take apart to try to copy it and practice for a while. I have a wedding cake comming up in the late spring. Any Ideas are greatly appreciated. icon_biggrin.gif
