花瓣 (huābàn) vs 花朵 (huāduǒ) — use 花瓣 when specifically referring to the individual petal, while 花朵 refers to the entire flower.
Be mindful that 花瓣 is a noun and should be used in contexts discussing flowers or nature. Avoid confusing it with 花 (flower) itself, as it specifies the part of the flower, not the whole. Common collocations include '花瓣雨' (huā bàn yǔ) meaning 'petal rain', often used in poetic expressions.
