The Helfrich variational problem is the minimizing problem of the bending energy among the closed surface with the prescribed area and enclosed volume. This is one of models for shape transformation theory of human red blood cell. Here the associated gradient flow, called the {\em Helfrich flow}, is studied. The existence of this geometric flow is proved locally for arbitrary initial data, and globally near spheres. Furthermore its center manifold near spheres is investigated.
