Each division, a tiny promise, held the weight of anticipation. The scent of rich soil, the cool touch of the earth, sealed the pact. Weeks later, the sight of new growth – a quiet triumph, a whispered affirmation of resilience – rewarded my perseverance, an echo of the dwarf yarrow’s own tenacious spirit.
