I noticed part 24866 in one of our sets from TLG:
This looks a bit different to me. Has this part been redesigned?

After a bit of research, it looks like this is a new part for 2018.
The part that it is likely replacing is the old flower petal with stud connections:
Old:
New:
The new part has 5 petals instead of 4, and they are shorter so that they don't collide with neighboring parts at any angle. New Elementary did a writeup on the new flower parts that includes an image to highlight this:
Both parts include the interior flower stem connector so that they can be used with either the new or recently redesigned flower stem.

It looks good from above but bad from all other angles. The petals simply aren't proportional to the plate height, which is a shame. IMO the trade-off in favor of functionality is rather poor. Commented Jun 11, 2018 at 16:12

I see your point. They look particularly stubby when compared to the original flower petal.– jncraton ♦Commented Jun 11, 2018 at 16:20

8On the bright side, having more flower molds means you can mix and match them to create more diverse gardens and even bouquets :) Commented Jun 11, 2018 at 16:22
