Tulips II

Upon further inspection of the Tulip, it occurred to me that there is more to the life cycle of the flower, not the plant itself, but the flower. The intermingling of the pollens and the cloning of blooming plants are common activities. I note the two activities in order to distinguish them. With the pollen we receive an unknown flower change, while with the clone we receive an identical flower. So a dilemma arises in me, a choice to make for the future.

Should I grow what I know, with the outcome expected? Simply more of the same flower, one after the other, to occupy all my energies. Or should I take the risk of failing to produce a flower of significance, when the actual result could be far more interesting than even imagined? I think I'll accept the risk in order to be marveled with the outcome.

I see in the tulip a beautiful flower, simply put. The fact that I have chosen to put my energies into something fundamentally more risk-filled enhances the sweetness of the flower to come. Simply put.
