Gargardenia can’t take it anymore! Adults keep whispering in her ears: “My little plant, little flower, little rose!”—pet names usually followed by scoldings, insults, or other unkind remarks. Gradually, she begins to feel just like the potted plants that are scattered everywhere. How do they manage that? They grow—and sometimes even bloom—even without proper nourishment! Today, she dares to step out into that outdoors which, until now, meant nothing but dirt, mud, and wet feet. And there... nature, nature: pure boredom. Yet out in the open, she makes some truly astonishing discoveries. But don’t just take our word for it—see for yourself! A poetic tale about growing up and the big questions of life.
