Well I think it's time to own up. This has been in my portfolio for about 4 years and is the only time I've made it so will have to go back to the drawing board to work out the easier way to make for everyone.
The 6 balloon way will be the easiest but will look into the least amount of balloons way as well :D

UPDATE
Just made the flower again & it can be made with just two balloons but is a lot easier & less confusing with six balloons

All my attempts were made with 2 balloons and a stem. The 6 petals seem to fit really nicely out of 2 260's and once you get your head round the weave it is easy to work out what is going on with the 2 colours.

Here come the instructions for this months flower balloon;

Inflate the green stem leaving approx 5 fingers un-inflated & either tulip twist or do two pinch twists

Inflate two more balloons so that you have approx 8 fingers un-inflated.
Tie the yellow balloon around the stem, do a 2.5 finger bubble & a 1 finger pinch twist.

Tie the orange balloon into the pinch twist & do a 5 finger bubble & twist around the stem of the flower.
Using the orange balloon do another 2.5 finger bubble followed by a 1 finger pinch twist.

With the yellow balloon do a 2.5 finger bubble & twist around the pinch twist from the orange balloon.

Carry on with a 5 finger bubble from the yellow balloon & twist into around the green stem,
do a 2.5 finger bubble & a 1 finger pinch twist still with the yellow balloon.

Twist a 2.5 finger bubble from the orange balloon & twist around the yellow pinch twist.
You then carry on doing this another four times to end up with the flower.
Please let me know if the instructions are not too clear or you need a little more help & guidance.

And finally............ the leaves. Inflate another green balloon & make two 2 finger pinch twists followed by two 10/12 finger fold twists. Get rid of excess balloon.
Attach the leaves onto the stem

Add on's

To make the flower look deeper add another balloon, colour of your choice. I used another orange which I think makes it harder for you to follow :oops:
Attach new balloon to pinchtwist, do a 2.5 finger bubble & loop around the next pinch twist on the inside of the flower, carry on all the way around with 2.5 bubbles & attaching them around each pinchtwist, get rid of excess balloon.
You can also add the lilac balloon to the centre stem, if you like.....
