A month ago in Mystery Fruit I couldn’t decide if I was looking at seed pods or flowers. Today the flowers, if that’s what they were in fact, are gone and what seems likely to be seed pods have appeared. I looked at this for a long time before realizing that I had taken a picture of it in full bloom. It could be the very same cluster. Nature’s propensity for diversity in reproduction is astounding. We humans do all sorts of things around the notion and activity of reproduction, though reproduction itself remains very simple and direct. We are not bees flying from flower to flower. We fall in love, have sex, have babies, and the seasons roll on.
