STEEM PLANTS CONTEST #12 : From Bud to Bloom!
I have always had this passion...watching closely flowers development from mature buds till the flowers are opened!
Let me share with you my latest find, I am sure you gonna be amazed by this work of nature!
But before that, let me thank @knopka145 for setting up this lovely contest where we are seeing a lot of users participating! I am quite lucky to have found it before the deadline of the 12th week which is the 10th May 2021!
I encourage everyone to try enter and give some further support...and who knows, maybe you can be among the winners and bag some nice STEEM prizes!
From Bud to Bloom - A short story about the purple flowers!
Mature Buds
This flower plant is actually at the back of my restaurant, and since a long time now I have been eagerly waiting for it to bloom!
Each time that I went there, I always go close and admire the progress...
Two weeks back...the plant's buds were finally in maturity period - The start of the magic was soon!
Amazing work of nature
What is great to witness is that just before the buds start opening is the presence of so many ants and other insects around working hard!
They all contribute in making the plant to have awesome flowers!
Then finally 3 days back...
The first few flowers were there fully opened...what a pleasure indeed!
At that moment I didn't realize how beautiful the plant will look like when all of the flowers start opening up...
Yesterday was the day of maximum blooming!
After parking my car, I directly noticed that the area was a little different yesterday...
'Beautiful' is not a strong word enough to describe the scenery!
Nearly all the mature buds were finally opened...I don't have words to describe that moment when I went near and started taking some photos!
I was so thankful to my brother in law, who is the one who planted it during the lockdown period in Mauritius!
On top of following the maturation from buds to flowers, I also do the same with fruits - From flowers to fruits!
One of the last I followed was the Starfruits! Check it below!

Hey! Stunning flowers! is Starfruits carambola? I tried it once, I didn't like it, maybe it wasn't ripe. :))) Thank you for your participation!
Oh thanks so much for appreciating the post and photography my friend!
Yes, it is also known as carambola...but the thing is that we have different varieties...some are sour and some super sweet. The one at my place is so sweet...even when green!
Looking forward to participate again in your contest soon!
Thanks for all!
