I think I am going to give it a better time tomorrow. Friday should give me way more time.

If you had the ability, videoing various steps would be awesome...
Unfortunately I don't, I don't even have a digital camera to photograph additional steps, I borrowed the one I used before. But at least I can draw and I've got a scanner, so I can draw any steps people are having trouble with.
The instructions are now all complete by the way. [smile]
Wow this is really cool! I'm just having a bit of difficulty with step 6a. I don't exactly get what to fold. The whole corner? or what? And once you fold it how do you get it to the picture shown? Thanks!

Ah yes, that one is a confusing one, it's the first one I took a photo of because it was baffling the first person I was teaching how to do this.
Okay, in step 5 you have a square within a square, right? The inner square is going to be the 'floor' of your waterlily. The outer square is going to get folded up to form the sides of a box/crown shape; these are the inner and middle rows of petals of the waterlily. (The corners still folded underneath will be the outer row of petals.)
So, the fold we are making in 6a accomplishes 2 things at the same time - it separates the inner row of petals (triangles in the center of each side) from the middle row of petals (corners), and it gives the waterlily its 3D shape.
The blue line in the illustration for step 5 is the fold at the edge of each corner petal and the small triangle between the blue line and the triangle in the center of each side becomes a flap which is tucked on the outside of that center triangle to reinforce it and make both rows of petals stand up.
Um, did that help any?
Ah ok! That does help a lot! Let me go find my paper and I'll see if I can finish it! Thank you very much! :)
(And knowing me, I'll be back with more questions! Lol)

6b) For the largest square you need to do the same thing except angle the blue line more to the right. After folding, this should result in the white line in the second photo pointing a little to the left rather than straight up. (repeat on all 4 sides.)
6c) For the two smallest squares, do the opposite; angle the blue line more to the right, which should result in the white line angling to the left
Doesn't seem like doing the opposite to me, could you please clarify?
And the sentence "angle the blue line more to the right" is confusing me in the first place anyway, could you reformulate? I'm not sure how it should be interpreted and what should it results into.
Ah! The site went down for a while so I was unable to work on my rose! Lol
Ok, anyways, I had another question. Same step-6a. I see what you fold, and what it will do, but, when you are folding it, could you be a little more specific on where you put it? I understand that something gets tucked. . .somewhere. . .I'm just having difficulties figuring out what to fold whereand when. Its pretty obvious I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. :/ Thanks again!

6A:
Make sure your paper has no folds facing up - like S/S said, the corners need to be folded under the paper (I screwed this up first). Then, go ahead and make the fold where that blue line is. It's a valley fold. You might as well make the corresponding one to the right, also a short valley fold.
From there, lift up the bottom middle of the paper (marked in pink) with a finger or thumb, and fold the two blue creases behind/under that point.
Yeah, I screwed it up several times, in several different ways [grin].

Actually, I'm really confused on the leaf. I got to the kite shape, but I'm not quite sure what part to fold after that, or even which side needs to be facing up?
Yeah, at least end pictures of each step would help immeasurable [grin]. If I end up with a camera tomorrow and can figure any of these out, I'll take some, but I'm not sure how likely that is!!
On the plus side, I got the blossom and calyx down.
