What are the microscopic differences between dead and alive petals?

When I was outside in my yard I saw a flower that had both dead and alive petals, so I thought that I could see what was so different on a microscopic level. The first thing I noticed was the spike like things weren’t there on the dead petal and the dead petal had lost all of the color that it used to have. I also couldn’t see the separation of the cells in the plant. It was very interesting to see how different dead and alive petals are when you look at them very closely.
