These are a set of three "loose"flowers. I made them from flat bar and cut the petals to shape in the shear. The centres are punchings from a factory This is another vase form based on a tube with a large sunflower head and nicely curled leaves This is a bowl made around a wooden form and the flowers include a sunflower made by welding lots of small punchings to make the centre. This bowl has legs welded to it.
This is a round bowl and a real mix of flowers and leaves This photo is similar to the other one but the bowl fits into a stand and I think there are differences in the sunflower too Ionly did one of these. I turned the flower heads on the lathe and then cut the petal shapes. It seemed  to take a very long time and I am a relatively impatient fellow
