a charming flower?– user545424Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 4:51

3I think we need to know more precisely the stage of the flower that you consider to be newly formed- A bud is the stage at which the flower is still tightly wrapped in the sepals. When the bud starts to open and the petals become exposed it is a blossom– JimCommented Apr 13, 2012 at 6:20

I know this isn't one word, but I think the best description would be a budding flower.
Bloom may serve. As a noun, its senses include
— The opening of flowers in general; the state of blossoming or of having the flowers open. (eg) The cherry trees are in bloom.
— A state or time of beauty, freshness, and vigor/vigour; an opening to higher perfection, analogous to that of buds into blossoms. (eg) the bloom of youth
— Anything giving an appearance of attractive freshness

I'd say the flower buds finally blossom.

1Well, blossom is a word, and it can be used as a noun as well. Commented Apr 13, 2012 at 3:57
I know this is years late, but I thought I could contribute. The proper word for a flower opening would be 'Anthesis'. This is when in which a flower opens and becomes sexual active. Meaning it can accept sperm within its ovule and or deliver pollen.
