The drama unfolds in miniature: a tiny seed, a promise held within its papery shell, defying the odds against fungal foes and slumbering oblivion.

But when the reward arrives – the incandescent moon-kissed bloom, a breathtaking spectacle unfolding under the cloak of night – it’s a triumph hard-won, a testament to patience and the enduring magic of life’s renewal.
