Wow, four hours with HP5? Must have been really low light. Love the delicacy of the petals. The lighting is just right. The softness of the one that wilted adds to the overall image.
 
I used an alarm clock for the exposure. I learned a neat thing with this image: its hard to overexpose film when there's no light.
