Zing Rufin entered the greenhouses to look around; he was still getting used to his new work environment and loving it! He inspected a row of small red flowerbuds. Smiling he leaned in closer. Ahhh, Rufus Draconia. He leaned out again as one of the buds opened briefly, sending something that looked like a bright orange flame from it's inside and closing again. Lovely, such beautiful stamen and stigma, bright like fire! He observed the little bits of pollen that had flown from the inside of the bud fall onto another Draconia, it soaked through the petals and began to glow orange. Rufin grinned contentedly, these were some of his favourite indoor flowers, not just because they shared his name but because they were fascinating and there was so much about them still to be discovered. |
