The Tiny Buds Show a Hint of Color

Kindergarten Celebration

The children were referred to as flowers more than once today, the last day of kindergarten, but they're far from floriferous. They're more like the baby buds on a rose bush that spread open just the tiniest bit--still tightly furled, but revealing the barest hint of the color of the flower which will eventually bloom.

floriferous (adj): bearing flowers; blooming freely
