Triangular scales overlap up each spear to a tight, pointed head blushed clay-pink, and the feathery fern arcs out sideways from just below the tallest tip. The tip itself has stayed shut, as if it would rather wait and see.
Along the foot of the packet: SOW DEEP, HARVEST IN YEAR THREE, and under it, wait · wait · feast.
For the gardener who waited three springs for the first spear and plans to be picking for twenty years.
