Pink Buds

These buds look good enough to eat.

In fact, they look like the little sugary rosettes used to decorate cakes.

At birthday parties when I was a child, I used to scrape icing off a cake slice and trade it for cake. But there's something about icing little rosettes, whether homemade or purchased in birthday decoration packs, that still entices me.

Just as these little buds do.
