Ihave managed to to finish my texture on my lily quite effectively, due to the fact the lily only really consists of two colours i used photoshop and filled a blank rectangular document with two colors.

In order to get the blured effect between the two colours i used the motion blur filter. Then using a new layer i applied an artist effect texture to get the slight bumpy texture, i also achieved this using the bump tool within 3ds max. I then applied this to the image using the the material editor, i positioned the material using the gizmo tool as the material required some manipulation to get it into the right place. I now have to use lighting and i will be done.
