Not easy to make color changes so best to use solid or variegated yarn and use contrast color for edging

EDGING
Work sc around petal edges, at bottom of petal skip 1 stitch and at top of petal work 2 scs. This will give you a smooth edge without puckering.
To fully outline petals, it's easier to make the stitches with a yarn needle rather than the crochet hook. Just make chain stitches with your needle and outline the petals.
