2013, Day 197 - Glow of vitality

The idea of flowers, when you really think about it, is rather disturbing.  They are the reproductive parts of plants, many grow from one organism at a time, they spread their genetic code, and then fall off.  Yes, they will regrow, but I find the though a little disconcerting.  Oh well, they're pretty and that's all that matters.
