“Things bloosom in their time. They bud and bloom, blossom and fade. Everything in its time.”

“I know the expression love bloomed is metaphorical, but in my heart in this moment, there is one badass flower, captured in time-lapse photography, going from bud to wild radiant blossom in ten seconds flat.”

“And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

“Those are gladioli,Josef Vissarionovich.The lower buds open before the tops.But it's better when they blossom at the same time.So the lower ones are wrapped in black paper,to keep them from blooming until the top ones do.”

“Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade. ”

“A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing — a flower in the process of expressing its potential.”
