Can anyone save this photo?

I recently shot a timelapse of a Trailing Arbutis flower (And a beautiful flower, at that) but my problem is this: some of the frames were blown way out due to the camera's AV mode, and not being properly set. Does anyone want to take on this challenge? They are supposed to be pinkish-white; I can batch process once I know how (IF possible) to save it, but I am not the best at PhotoShop... Can anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot!

IMAGE EDIT IS OKAY FOR THIS PICTURE!

If it was shot in raw format maybe, but you won't recover the colours in the highlights if it's JPEG.

if raw, you can see what is possible by using the command:
dcraw-T -w -H 9 <your_raw_file>
whatever blows out turns pink/purple, and you can have fun with hue shifting in photoshop.

You can also lower the number after H (3 - 9) to reduce the highlight recovery strength, which will, of course, let more stuff blow out but have more accurate highlight colors.

The highlights are clipped too badly, unfortunately CS4 ACR can't save it. Use your histogram when you shoot.

It's just a flower, go take it again, or buy something similar from stock.

Well, unfortunately neither a histogram nor a retake will help me; it was a timelapse of the bud on the right (and partially, the middle) opening, and I was 60 miles away while it was shooting. The problem is, I need flash at night, so it is up during the day, limiting the auto adjustment to 1/250th of a secon at the fastest, and when the sun hit it most directly, it blew it out. The first part is just too gorgeous to scrap (it rained, and there were rain drops all over the pink buds, which are nice when your camera is set good) and there is only a hundred or so pictures that are like this, so maybe I can patch it a bit.... Thanks for trying, guys!

Ah, that's a big different. You can recover it a little, but a lot of it will require drawing parts back in that are blown out.

I don't understand this comment though: " The problem is, I need flash at night, so it is up during the day, limiting the auto adjustment to 1/250th of a secon at the fastest, and when the sun hit it most directly, it blew it out.". An external speedlite can sync at up to 1/8000th, lower power than below 1/250th though.

Well, I only have one good speedlight, a 430EXII, and I don't really feel like leaving it out overnight unless it is something really special.. I use rain sleeves, and so far they have stood up to rain wonderfully, but still..
The camera I am using is a 20D that only cost $96, in case something did happen.
The camera was on AV mode, so that the shutter would adjust for the sun; but the flash being up wouldn't let it adjust enough, because of the low sync speed with the on board flash.

I have thought about getting a used 430EX I, but I have to pay off a 100L first, even if I do decide to get another flash.

Here is what one of the first ones, and one of the last ones looked like:

Is there a possibility of doing a "Preset" from the good ones? would that help anything if applied to the bad ones? Sorry, I am still trying to learn PhotoShop.

I used lightroom to recover some of the highlights and the clone stamp in photoshop...

Seeing as it time lapse what if these two or three frames were just omitted. Time lapse is usually a little jerky looking anyway. Depending on how many frames and the total duration of the TL clip, you may never even notice.

Yeah you can't save that.

Did you use an interlmeter ? How far apart were frames . What program did you use if other than CS 4 ?
I forgot it was call time lapse and posted in macro and video forums . Then did another search " How to - flower opening ? " and found this post
