The cycle of life. This purple flower plant (I wish I knew what it's name is) has prolific flowers. When you look at it, you find flowers in all stages of their existence in the same plant at the same time - starting with the bud and going on to open, become colorful, spread out and bloom completely to show all its brilliance. After its life is done in a day or two, it starts fading, withering, shrivelling up before becoming dark, lifeless and drying up and falling to the ground. All these photos were shot on the same plant at the same time this morning on my Samsung M31S. Not edited.
