The Call: Bud — Jessica

I finally took the plunge into homeschooling. I’m really just testing the waters because I’m only teaching my eleven year old daughter but it’s a start! So, today, for our science lesson we were continuing to work on plants and cell growth and differentiation. I picked a bud off of the dogwood tree in the front yard and carefully cut into it with a craft knife. And just like the book said, there inside the bud, were all the pieces of the dogwood blossom — just smaller and greener. How cool is that?

I come across my love of floral motifs honestly; my mother loved them first.
