What a great sense of satisfaction it is when we puzzle over an origami crease pattern and are finally able to fold a model!
A few days ago, I once again neglected everything else my life and spent a few hours folding from crease patterns that Hans-Werner Guth (Germany) has shared on his Flickr page. Hans is so prolific. He must be folding twenty four hours a day, every day!
It was long past midnight when I finally figured out one of Hans’s geometric flowers. Once we get into it, who needs sleep anyway!
Here is an easy folding sequence I developed, shared in the following video –with Hans’s permission, or course.
And if we want to go beyond the pleasingly peaceful act of folding this geometric beauty, we can add a pin to the back of the flower, stick it on our hat, and make an origami fashion statement ;-)

Hi Leyla:
I also admire and have folded many of Hans’ models. I absolutely love his “style.” In fact I think his Eifel Star should have won an award for model of the year in 2011. You tend to see it everywhere.
I cannot think of a finer combination than an origami design by Hans Werner Guth and a tutorial by one of the best teachers: Leyla Torres. Thank you as always Leyla for a wonderful tutorial. And thank you as well to Hans for sharing your beautiful design.
Happy folding … forever :-)

Hi Rosemary, I had been wanting to teach one of Hans models for a while! I’m happy I gave myself the time to play and figure out one of his crease patterns. Thank you for your note!
Thanks for your friendly comment! Once again I’m fishing for words! Thanks!
Leyla you did a great job! Crease pattern to video instruction! Great!
Thanks for this great video tutorial. While watching I succeeded in folding the flower pin. Love it!
Dear Hans & Leyla
Thankyou Leyla for this clear and easy to follow tutorial and thankyou very much to Hans for this lovely design! – it is very satisfying to fold.
This flower really captured my imagination. I loved the petals, and how they look from the sides – they brought to mind the hardy bushland flowers round my place.
I hope you like my Australian Waratah flower!

Wonderful idea Rosa, Waratah flower!
Wow, this is a terrific origami Waratah flower, Rosa! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
ps just to clarify its a Waratah made of Hans’ Flower Pins, not something unrelated!
