“The instant the stem surfaces, it grows in one direction, a line of power that crystallizes in a bud. Soon,

from that bud, leaves and petals form, hatch, and take the shape of a winding curve, choosing a certain

color, a certain scent. Nothing can now stop them from arriving at that distinctive signature, that desire

to become realized, to draw sustenance from the ground, but also from the wind, the dew, and the rays of

sunlight. All of that to reach the fullness of their being, a fullness established when still a seed, from a very

distant beginning, from—it could be said—eternity.”
