I am making an animation about a flower which grows from frame 1 to 48.
However is there a way to make 100 flowers (using Particles)but to keep the animation of the flower.This may sound silly but i am new to this software
In this thread that problem is discussed. Watch my sample file and notice that I have 4 kind of flowers inside. The can have their own animation time line.
Also watch the particle parameters. I think it would solve your problem. Play with the file changing the particle values and see how it works.
