went & saw my little girl today; she was starting to look all grown up with her lovely pistils & shiny green leaves. so i took these two gangly ruffians, all swollen & bursting with pollen, & let them have their way with her. as i tapped their stalks, a snowstorm of gold fell all across her gorgeous leaves. after 37 years of avoiding seeds, i feel oddly guilty, yet hopeful about the future. somewhat like an expectant parent i think...
