Re-using old projects.

The minion I made somewhere in 2015. I didn’t have that much Blender knowledge. The model mesh was clean, but it had many tiny problems I couldn’t solve then or even understand how to solve. But after many years of tinkering with Blender, I’m confident to fix problems. Fixing old problems and using old projects is the thing I am currently learning.
I clean stuff, ordering/grouping things in collections. Apply fresh naming to objects, and materials.
I even try to move things into more descriptive project folders. But that is hard to do because I do use ‘Linked’ objects from other files. So other projects will break.
I only want to say, if you create a project spend some time on structuring, so you can easily re-use an old project in a new project. Make smart collection, name materials not that global but more specific. Not ‘glass’, but ‘glass eye minion’.

have fun.

What a good, challenging topic. Definitely outside of my comfort zone, but I will give it a shot. I’m going to try to make this flower a neighbor planted in my apartment complex:

I think it’s a tiger lily?

Gonna be tough but we’ll see how it goes.

Your plants look really nice! I didn’t appreciate them until I zoomed in. How did you do the detail on the top one. Did you sculpt it?

I used proportional editing for the base shape, then I did the rest with displacement and bump.
Here is the shader setup for the top of the petal if you’re curious.
