  Focal conic domains, are defects characteristic of layered liquid crystal
phases. Their association can built flowers where petals are the ellipses of
the Dupin cyclides involved in these defect. We report here the observation of
focal conic flowers in cholesteric droplets sessile on a glass surface and
surrounded by glycerol. The observation of the droplets in different directions
helps to solve the 3D architecture of the flower. The effects of the droplet
size and of the pitch value are also reported.
