does anyone know how to fold that? or know of any free legal diagrams/cp. i know its from two triangles but im not sure how to fold em

Fold each triangle into a traditional iris: http://www.davidpetty.me.uk/mom/mom26a.htm
Afterwards put them into each other.

After that you can fold another one from an hexagon (better if you do it in green) and use it as sepals

sweet thank you, does anyone know how to get an equilateral triangle from a square?

sweet, thanks for all your help guys

Or:

It can be folded from one square.

First, fold John Montroll's six-sided-square (it's a preliminary base with not 4 but 6 flaps), then continue just like as the traditional lily/iris (squash, petal fold and narrow each flap).

Some of the flaps will become a bit thick, but it still can be done even with 80g printer paper.

The six-sided-square instructions can be found in Teach yourself origami.

This is an awesome advice, not only for this model but for many other variations. Thanks a lot.
