After that we sorted the groups into a flower. The groups are the petals and we used the original pattern (see second line) four times:


Hello and welcome to our nrich activity of Folding Flowers 1! We have our solutions! We have come to a decision that there are actually infinite solutions, due to the fact that you can actually move the petals any distance from each other. We really enjoyed solving this problem!
