Looking for flowers

For my sister's wedding she asked me if I could decorate the party room with origami flowers and after folding a few models I just got stuck not knowing what to fold.

So far I folded Kawasaki roses, traditional lilies and daisies.
I already tried tulips and water lilies but the paper she provided me is too thick so it kills my lungs when I try to inflate it and rips when you try to reverse-fold thick layers.

What I really need is ideas and diagrams (probably CPs would work too with a bit of help since I never folded from CP) for relatively simple/fast origami 3D flowers, something complex would work too provided that it's quick to make since I'll have to fold around 20-30 of the same flower.

Hope you can help me out!

Bnm70: Thanks but I already found that site and took what I needed from it. :mrgreen:

Jeko: Thank you, found some very good models I could use on the site you linked!

there are quite a few on origami.com if you look. I found a good, easy rose somewhere but I don't remember where I got it... just search around on google. Sometimes squidoo.com has some good origami models, too, although the site's not dedicated to origami.

Hope this helps
