They are not doing well either. Most are blackening before they reach full flower. I have watching this one for a couple of weeks, and here it is with the bud upright at last and showing its innards. As you see, the flower is not without pigment, and has all the traditional flower parts. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 150mm equivalent. Aperture program for increased depth of field (f16).
