Its woody stems, stubbornly clinging to life, whisper secrets of resilience as the gardener wrestles with semi-hardwood cuttings. Each tiny node, a potential new life, demands patience, a delicate dance between moisture and rot.

The eventual unfurling of a fresh, spiny shoot—a triumph hard-won, a testament to perseverance, a vibrant green star in the gardener’s constellation of successes.
