i wish plant life would grow all around me

His aunty offered him a bit of history about his most favorite tree, she had nearly died in the beginning of her existence in the garden. The story was sweet, and Indigo felt like he wanted to do the same thing. His plants were going to need his love and care. He wondered if he might meet Meadow, and he wondered if he would be able to care for the plants as well as she did. Iolaire was supportive of his insecurities, and she assured him that she was going to be there to help him learn.

Dark ears perked as he tried to push away his insecurities, he had help and he had guidance. He just had to lean on his aunty. His huge black paws carried him after her as she asked what plants he liked the most. So far his favorites had flowers, but he didn’t miss the plants with beautiful foliage. His bright blue eyes looked over the garden as Iolaire gestured for him to make his choice.

Indigo looked over them and his eye was caught by the bright flowering plant a tier down from them. They were huge flowers on impossibly long stems, (hibiscus) the reminded him of aunt Bell’s flower on her hip. These were red though. ”Aunty Io, what about these?” He asked as his gangly puppy paws carried him further.
