    These buds are all from my Carolina Allspice at different stages and a tad enlarged. The bottom bud is 3xs the actual size. They are really fascinating…

    It’s not the same plant. It’s a azalea that was just putting out a hint of a leaf bud and I thought I would try to force it.

      I’ve added color to the leaves and a few more leaves. Trying to give a better sense of how the pansies grow.

      It’s just so odd to me to see such blues in a plant. I live in Colorado. We do not have much that is blue!

        This is before the ranunculus exploded open. Today I removed the petals and discovered the amazing center.
