A "black" variety of rose blooming and wilting, although it really turned out more pink and red in this case. The darkness of the petal color varies a lot based on environmental factors.
I had hoped that the petals would drop and that I could capture them with my special photography method, but they didn't. I thought the video was still worth posting.
