rosebuds
Future garden flowers
Rosebuds are roses before they open, when petals are still tightly furled.
The word evokes youth and promise—something beautiful not yet in full bloom.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may urges seizing pleasures before time passes.
Rosebud lips are small and delicately shaped.
As a term of endearment: Good morning, rosebud.
