flower-petals

Soft colorful whorls

Flower-petals is a hyphenated form of flower petals—the colorful, often delicate parts of a bloom that surround the reproductive structures.

The hyphen typically appears when the phrase functions as a compound modifier: flower-petal softness, a flower-petal pink.

Otherwise, the two-word form without hyphen is standard.
