The tiny boxelder seeds, each a miniature helicopter blade, whispered promises of emerald canopies. Yet, their slumber, a stubborn dormancy, demanded coaxing—a chilling sojourn in the refrigerator’s cold embrace. Weeks bled into months, the suspense a taut wire. Then, a tentative push, a fragile spear of green, a triumph against the odds. But the cuttings, ah, the cuttings were a different story. A clean snip, the scent of sap, a swift dip into the rooting hormone, a whispered prayer for success. The humid haven of the propagator’s dome, a miniature world where life, fragile and tenacious, took hold. Each unfurling leaf, a tiny flag of victory hoisted in the face of the challenges faced.
