Kawasaki roses from various polyhedra
I have recently been folding as many roses as possible, and experimenting with them alot. I came across a website:
http://www.zingman.com/origami/index.html
and fould a rose made with five petals. After experimenting with the technique that Mr. Szinger used I was able to produce a hexagonal one. I am currently trying to make a triangular Kawasaki rose but am running into problems creating similar lines of symmetry that were used on the pentagon and hexagon. Any guidance in this endeavour would be greatly appreciated.

Recently Iv'e folded the "Irgendeine Blume " by Christian Weinert- The rose starts from hexagon.

Thanks Christian!

i have been lookign for a simple (relatively) way of amking a hheptagon from a piece of paper. I only found one, at http://www.ganymeta.org/~darren/origami ... e=heptagon
but it leaves the paper so folded that after adding all the other folds needed for the rose, i can only imagine that it would be next to impossible to pick the construction folds from the fose folds.
any insight or mathematice brilliance would be greatly appreciated
On a different note, i am planning to post a crease pattern sometime soon for the hexagonal rose, and diagrams for the calyxs. Hope to have these up within a few weeks.

heptagon
The diagram I made is for a mathematically correct heptagon. Folding it does result in a pile of creases far too high to further fold anything useful from it.
But there are ways around this.
You can fold one to use as a template to make another, but it takes some practice folding it (and reading my diagram) before you get a result good enough for this.
I've heard of people making various regular polygon templates in Microsoft Word, to print out, cut out, and fold. Image editing software can probably be used to this end.

Origami purists be warned, don´t read any further.
The easiest way to get a heptagon without any interfering creases is, to take a pair of compasses and a set square and measure it out. The needed angle should be 51,43 (=360/7). If I find my old technical drawing records, I can look up the correct way for constructing, I´ll have a look.
