All in one day........


 The bud actually develops the day before but then the unfurling begins.  It  can be opened in a few hours and then it is gone.  It collapses instantly as if it were like a deflating balloon or a smashed umbrella.

The bud is quite beautiful and then comes the unfurling ... still beautiful, while it lasts.

It's like poetry.

  The flowers are getting a gentle rain this morning.  It  makes the soil and sub soil happier as our drought is less these days.
