Hi Tom, I noticed this small detail that you may want to consider, as the water drop falls from the rose pedal onto the leaf the transparent nature of H2O would let reflected light show through from the leaf.
Animate the color of the drop from rose to green leaf for added realism.

If only one drop is traveling down the rose pedal, then how many drops should be in each frame? This drop is leaving a trail of clones.
