We need it to form the bend line. Unfold the paper and fold the triangle so that the opposite sides of the square adjoin in the centre.

Press one of the triangular corners with its middle to the centre. Turn aside one side of the derived irregular rhomb and repeat the procedure with the next corner. Make the same with the next two corners.

Fold two sides of every rhomb to the centre, and unfold them back. With hands, pull the bottom of the rhomb to the top and fold along the bend line. Make the same with the other three sides. Then, unbending the top, unfold all the little rhombs.

Fold the top of the sheet from each side to the centre. Turn over the derived flower, unbend sequentially each petal outside, twisting it a little. The origami lily is ready!
