for flowers I would use straight gumpaste... but make sure you keep your pieces covered as you work so they don't dry out too fast..
this is my preference..
i usually use 50/50 mix when I need something to be a little more flexible but need it to dry a little faster then fondant.
hope this helps..

Also flowers you do ALOT of work to them you want to slowly dry verses just straight GP I would mix it half and half.
Figures you work on for a while twisting shaping etc... just fondant
Like Joann said the delicate petals that you want GP but work super quick!
Well I usually only use gunpaste but recently tried to use fondant for a project becuase I was lazy and I already had the colors I needed in fondant and not in Gumpaste.. and what a mistake that was the cake is due tomorrow and here we are 6 days later and I am still waiting for the pieces to dry I mean they are like as soft as the day I made them what a mess Im in...
