Website for reference.
Got a lady that would like me to make this cacti flower and I’m not sure how or where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I’m also willing to learn if there are tutorials on generating a pattern.

The structure of the pattern is actually the one of an alpha pattern. A similar normal pattern might be possible, but it's easiest to do as an alpha.

Could you show me the alpha pattern?

I don't think there is, but you can just knot it based on the image

Here are similar patterns
#137131 #111298

I won't post that exact pattern because it's not my own pattern, I'd be stealing it, but I could design one that looks similar.

I think the pattern you reference would be almost impossible to make as a normal pattern with 3 or more colors, but it's fairly straightforward as an alpha, the pattern is right there in the beadwork. It's just like a counted cross stitch where you add in colors only as you need them.

Since that pattern is already copyrighted you can't republish it here, but there are some similar ones that already exist:

Alphas
#20916
#24853
#24902
#24836
#24811
#36481

Or if you'd rather knot a normal pattern, here are some flower-type patterns:
#89618
#89620
#26998
#96717
#116064
#128605

I made this normal pattern for you #137290

I rotated the flowers from the photo 45 degrees and made some changes to them. I also included the triangles at the edges.
