"The Flower"...

...Have you seen this one before?

... Quite interesting isn't it...well, to keep you from eternally guessing as to just what this is - yes, it once was - a flower - and all that remains of a Persimmon...the rest is gone, just leaving this little elf-like flower...

...Yes, the persimmons are still going, and now they are so beautiful and ripe enough to eat with gusto, that is, if you like persimmons, and when they are VERY ripe - well, I can see why they ask $1.60 each and more, in the shops... When they are Not ripe - they're not all that nice..

...But I thought I'd show you what the little Once-A-Flower looks like as it intrigued me enough to show you here...
