Merriam Webster defines Skookum as

✔Marked by strength or power

✔Marked by excellent quality

Now coming to a simple question…

Which is stronger? A leaf or a bud/flower?

The answer is easy-peasy. Is it not so?

The bud is a delicate structure yet to develop whereas the flower is a lightweight structure.

There is no comparison between flowers and leaves in the matter of strength.

The leaf is definitely stronger than bud/flower. Am I right?

But in the image below you can notice how the buds pierce the leaf and bloom into a full-fledged flower.(shallow depth of field is due to result of using 100mm f/2.8 macro lens)

I am also surprised at the shape of the holes in the leaf. More or less they are round shaped!

How is it that they are circular?

I don’t know.

What does this teach us?
