Actually, this is rather easy in Illustrator. This is one of the possible methods:


Select your first petal with the black arrow selection tool (V);
Select Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform...;
Set the number of copies to your desired amount of petals and check the 'preview' box;
Set a value slightly above 100% for both Horizontal and Vertical scale;
Set a value for the angle, eg. 10°;
Play around with the 'Move' values until your copies line up nicely the way you want them to.


Since this produces an effect on a single object, you can still edit the original petal (and that one only), and all others will follow suit. In case you'd want to manipulate the petals separately, you'll have to Object > Expand Appearance first, turning all copies into separate objects.
