At this morning's scan, there were about twelve follicles in bud. I'm sure that's not the technical term, but I like the idea of being in bud, like the branch of a plum tree, even if it is a chemically-induced harvest.
The buds above are from a Cannonball tree in Cairns, where I've been visiting my mum, brother & sister in law. Aside from growing amazing 'cannonball' like fruits, their flowers are amazingly complex and beautiful:
Thanks for bearing with me through all my little philosophical meanderings - it has been so good to have this time to think and write, and to have some amazing people to bounce these ideas around with.
I like the 'in bud' concept too. And those flowers are stunningly wonderfully weird!
