Mum wears a white top, emblazoned with horizontal stripes the colour of sunflowers. She accepts receipt of a little, green watering can from her two-year-old daughter.
The daughter, wearing a poppy-red t-shirt, then takes a large jug and drops it in a bucket of water with a splash, and a squeal. Little hands lift the full jug to the soil and tip the contents on the dirt, making a small lake.
Scrunching up her face, the girl scrutinises the earth and frowning says, “Not grow up.”
“They will,” says Mum, sighing with the knowledge that all flowers eventually grow up.
