Hello,
So i want a dead flower to bloom back to life. Currently i have used shape blends to get the basic forms. Also added some bones for more control on bends and curls. But i am unable to achieve the small curls and details, something like this…

Can anyone please suggest the best way to approach it??

Thanks!!

blending displacement maps?

Hmm i haven't tried that. Do you think i can get the tiny curls out of displacement or i have to model them?? I did play around with cloth a bit but couldn't get the desired result. But I'll give this one a go! thanks!

Yes ,I think so.

Using Displacement and animated textures and material is good way.

Just you should create an animated texture for masking displacement and material's parameters like diffuse , reflection and etc.

for example you can use animated ramp for masking 8)
