          Arms wrapped around oneself

          Red 

           Small 

           Wallflower 

A plant, no matter the type, needs water, sun, and above all time to grow.

Each of these elements come together to nourish and challenge the plant. 

Eventually, it becomes taller, sturdier, and beautiful in its own way. 

This process is not overnight, but over a series of events and days to shape the plant.

           Laughing, open 

           Colorful 

           Tall with purpose 

            Beautiful individual
