Epicotyl! Cotyledon! Scale…
I have been listening to the
bud scales pop-off
as the leaves burst forth.
Next week it will be as if
the leaves hadn’t left.
They call them
Bud-scales or Bud-coats.
All the other parts of the plant
embryo get fancy names.
As important as they are and
everything hinging on them
“I think the scientists really
dropped the ball on this one.”
