Close Up Flower Radial Symmetry Layered Elongated

Design a close-up image of a flower with a radial symmetry, featuring layered, elongated petals that seamlessly blend from a light pastel yellow at the core to a deep forest green at the edges. Ensure the petals have a soft, glossy texture with subtle variations in shade for depth. The background should be a smooth gradient transitioning from cream to pale green, enhancing the flower's vibrancy.
