Ok so a while back I had an idea for a cowplant project , mainly to increase the types of cowplants there are. I had succesfully edited the mesh of the cowplant to make cowplants have pizza and pie as a 'bait' tongue. I wanted to increase the difficulty ( not really I just really wanted to do this new idea) but the problem is it requires knowledge that is the bane of my existence , uv maps. I just don't understand them, I do really ok with blender until I get to uv maps and since uv maps is pretty basic stuff it shows you how limited I can actually get around with blender. That said I don't want to abondon this idea cause I just think it will be so pretty! Here is what I have so far.
I used the in game single sunflower..ive already made a retexture/recolor for the sunflower but the mesh itself is already a bit a weird, you can only see the flower from one direction otherwise it goes invisible. However that makes editing the shape of the sunflower easy in photoshop..all you had to do was edit the alpha layer instead of changing the whole mesh in blender. I don't know if using a simple mesh like this is gonna effect the uv map but at any rate. Here is the obvious issue, the flower isn't gonna be in the same spot as the cake so it messes up the whole map..again I don't really understand how to fix the problem even if i kinda get the jist of the problem
It shows the entire area where the flower heads mesh actually is. I just need this uv map and then the "hope" is that I can change the flower in photoshop to as many types of flowers as I want to if this works out how I intend it too. I want to keep it so I can easily change the flower head via photoshop alpha layers

I am putting this in request instead of creator help cause I've reached a dead end here. If someone can't literally basically do this uv map for me I'll have to trash the project T_T But I am open to anyone using this idea in any way they see fit or change or do whatever to these files to help create the basic concept I've shown here. I really want this sunflower cowplant . In the mean time I am gonna attempt my hand at uv maps once again during this but I am not hopeful lol. If anyone is interested in this it would make me crazy happy.
