Cuttings, a futile dance with fragile leaves, offer little hope. But the patient hand, gently coaxing apart the clustered bulblets, finds reward. Each tiny bulb, a whispered promise, holds the potential of a constellation of delicate, white stars, lighting up the autumn gloom. The slow, painstaking process is a meditation, a testament to the enduring power of hope and the profound satisfaction of coaxing life from the earth.
