Thread OP
The one single open white petal indicates the newly opened bloom is ready to be pollinated. After a day the white petal rolls in on itself and then only shows as red, no longer giving a signal to pollinators.

I found that as well, when I was first told about this. Here is the bloom with the petal rolling up into itself.
