mechanism able to generate rodonee similar to corollas of natural flowers was conceived. Itconsists of two leading elements and dyade of type RRP. The leading elements movements are correlated bymeans of a linear relation characterised by a coefficient q. Several pictures, corresponding to differentvalues of q, were obtained. In this paper, different natural corolles are identified with pictures generated bythis original mechanism. Dialipetal and gamopetalous corollas were sources of inspiration for the creationof certain extremely beautiful curves. The mechanism can be used as a model or toy able to plot thesecurves.
