Finally figured out a way to make realistic flowers with collisions in Blender so wanted to share it!

Using a set of mesh petals you can make easy flowers by using cloth sims and controlling them with a force field and gravity, then exporting and importing MDD format to reverse time of the bloom. After that geometry nodes can be applied and the possibilities are endless

Inspired by multiple Houdini projects & tutorials on Youtube
