Week 4 - Homework 1: Visualize pattern in nature/objects

This week we had to find and visualize a pattern in nature or objects. Last week, I went on a sighseeing-trip around Seoul and saw Cosmos flowers planted around one of the places we visited. The image of the flowers stuck out to me and served as my ispiration for this assignment.

This is the image I used for reference (not photographed by me):

And the result turned out like this:

The code

void setup (){
 size (600, 500);
noLoop();

 background(65, 148, 10);
}

void draw (){
 
  //Loop pink flower
  for(int i=0; i < 7; i++){
    pushMatrix();
//radomizing flower placement
    translate(random(-200, 200), random(-200, 200));
  
    //petal color
  fill(255, 143, 214);
  stroke(212, 87, 166);
 
  //Petal furthest to the right
  ellipse (350, 250, 100, 50);
 
  //Petal between right and down
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(45));
  ellipse (435, -35, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest to the left
  ellipse(250, 250, 100, 50);
 
  //Petal between left and up
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(45));
  ellipse(337, -35, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest on top
  ellipse(300, 200, 50, 100);
 
  //Petal between top and right
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(315));
  ellipse (85, 390, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest down
  ellipse(300, 300, 50, 100);
 
  //Petal between down and left
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(315));
  ellipse (-10, 390, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  // flower center
  fill(255, 196, 0);
  noStroke();
  circle(300, 250, 26);
  popMatrix();

}

  //Loop white flower
  for(int i=0; i < 7; i++){
    pushMatrix();
//radomizing flower placement
    translate(random(-200, 200), random(-200, 200));
  
    //petal color
  fill(255);
  stroke(125);
 
  //Petal furthest to the right
  ellipse (350, 250, 100, 50);
 
  //Petal between right and down
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(45));
  ellipse (435, -35, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest to the left
  ellipse(250, 250, 100, 50);
 
  //Petal between left and up
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(45));
  ellipse(337, -35, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest on top
  ellipse(300, 200, 50, 100);
 
  //Petal between top and right
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(315));
  ellipse (85, 390, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  //Petal furthest down
  ellipse(300, 300, 50, 100);
 
  //Petal between down and left
  pushMatrix();
  rotate(radians(315));
  ellipse (-10, 390, 100, 50);
  popMatrix();
 
  // flower center
  fill(255, 196, 0);
  noStroke();
  circle(300, 250, 26);
popMatrix();
}

}

I started by making one single flower in the center of the window and worked with getting the angle and placement of the petals as I wanted them. After that, I added the loop, and used translate to get the placement of the flower as a whole to change randomly. After that I colored the flowers and decided that I wanted flowers in two different colors; so I used copy-pasted the loop and changed the color to white on one of the loops.
