This photo is a budding flower.
When a flower is first developing, the bud serves as the auxin producing area of a plant.
Auxins serve as hormones that allow the plant to grow and develop. When
released, these auxins allow for roots to grow while simultaneously preventing
the flower from losing its leaves. This flower produces the auxin in its leaves
rather than its stem in order to keep the leaves from falling off.
