You can find it in Oruhito's Gallery here

It's the 15th post.

By the way nonkelgans, don't you mean Chris Palmer?

Here's everything I could find on it:
http://www.prospero78.freeserve.co.uk/oriflowers.htm
http://www.spundreams.net/~andy/origami ... -howto.txt
There's supposed to be cp or diagram (doesn't say which) in the 8th tanteidan, OUSA Convention Book 1996, and whatever Flowers Collection 1 is.

Hope that helps!

Are these books still available?

Yeah, I don't know how I ended up typing Harper instead of Palmer. thanx for pointing that out, I have changed it.

Some hints...

Don't try to fold directly from the CP. It doesn't work well, and you don't learn the process behind it (which is the cool part anyway, IMHO) Instead read the directions on the second link mrs riggins posted, and use the creasepattern as a guide to make sure you've gotten it right. That's how I did it, after getting stuck on the CP.

Flowers Collection 1 is a CD (or DVD?) available through Chris Palmer's website, http://www.shadowfolds.com. If I remember right, it has video instructions... I haven't bought it, though, I don't have much info about it. I've heard he makes good instructions.

Before I spend $30...how hard is the Flower Tower...eg, on the Montroll-Lang scale?

Brimstone · Post by **Brimstone** » November 27th, 2010, 9:42 pm

I am not familiar with the scale you mentioned, but it is an intermediate model plus the video doesn't show how to find the references, just how to collapse a printed CP.

Still it is worth getting, since the references are not that hard and it comes with several wonderful models.

I stumbled upon this video tutorial, while looking for videos of the model in action.

I thought some of you might enjoy it, I know I'll be folding this really soon!

Just so you know there are different models called flower towers. The one that had been discussed in this thread is not the one taught in that video.

You can find the CP here by anwsering this quiz

Again the CP is not for the Flower Tower that was in discussion.

Raptorex55 · Post by **Raptorex55** » September 22nd, 2012, 7:11 pm

True, but rather than create a new topic I posted it here. The topic doesn't specify (only Oruhito's photo) 12 point or 8 point so I figured it would be appropiate to post it here.

You're right, well thought.
