a flower bud

| No Comments
Remember about a month ago, I showed you my son's sprouting bean plant.

Well, now it looks like this:

Wow, right?

Each week, I see more leaves unfurling from tiny buds.

But last week, we noticed a different sort of bud.

Two days later, it looked like this.

Whoa, that's not a leaf!

Sure enough, the next day, there appeared...

A flower!

S was so excited, he jumped out of bed in the morning when I told him his plant had a flower. There are now three more flower buds on the plant ready to open.

All this has gotten me thinking about the buds on my tree.

They're gonna be flowers!

I think.
