I’m currently trying to make this a geometry plugin using maxscript so you can set and animate the parameters in real time, just like any other geometry object in max. Scroll down for video.

I appreciate all feedback :)
Download URL: http://havardsc.com/scripts/flowerCreator.ms

How to:
To install it permanently on your system, just copy the file to the \plugins folder or to any folder listed in the plug-ins paths.
To try the plug-in without installing it permanently, just evaluate the code and look under Create panel>Geometry>havardsc category in the drop-down list. The plug-in will be only available for the single session and will not be there after restarting 3ds Max.
Any MAX files saved with the plug-in in the scene will require the script to be installed and evaluated in order to load correctly.

Additional Info: 

Old version:

Some days ago I stumbled upon this http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/VirtualFlowersWithCrispatePetals/ and thought it would be cool to script the same thing in maxscript. I used the curve control editor to display the graphs as a preview, in lack of a better alternative to display a them, as far as I know. I am kind of new to scripting and this is my first post on scriptspot, so be gentle : )
Open for any kinds of suggestions.

Thanks for the kind words! I don't think the scripts on my site are the best to look at to learn scripting, as I wrote them as I was learning maxscript myself. They are inconsistent, poorly commented and/or deviates from good practice :p I'm getting better at it now I hope!

I think that maybe you are a genius. I am taking your advice to make the spinners on Rock Maker interactive, so I've been pulling your scripts apart for ideas and solutions but I'm having trouble following.... hahaha.

Well the flower one anyway, and mainly the maths involved.

Thank you so much for sharing your scripts
oh! and why not include a randomiser that makes shapes(Flowers) at random or presets
