Make blossom petals fall with a flutter, slow when flat and quick when on edge

Falling petals in a gentle story scene look like confetti if they all drop at one speed and spin like plates. A real petal turns, shows its face, then its edge, and the fall changes with every turn. Here is how to get that tumble from a few numbers, with no list of petals to keep.

Why this works

A petal falls the way it does because it catches air when flat and slips through when on edge. Tie the speed to how flat it is, and the flutter comes out by itself, with no list of petals to keep.

When not to use it

Don't use it for heavy things like leaves in a storm or falling debris, which are pushed by wind far more than by their own turning. Use a plain drift with gusts there.
