After three days, I got tired of waiting for this one to well and truly shrivel up, and just called it done.

It's a "Picotee Blue" that bloomed slowly, never really opened up as far as I'd expected it to, lasted a long time, and then failed to wither away with dignity. It was a 'partial double', with a couple of petal-like bits inside.

The photo below is from earlier in the process, and the link here...

I eventually called it quits mainly because I got tired of waiting for it to well and truly wilt to a point that could clearly be called "done", but also because there are a couple of brand new buds on the Flying-Saucers-or-maybe-Blue-Star vines that want to be the next time-lapse movie stars. Who am I to argue?
