Laurel chuckled at the girl's suggestion. It reminded her of her daughters when they had been younger. Dahlia had often placed one in daffodil away from the rest for the very same reason although as far as Laurel could tell it hadn't done anything.

"Perhaps they are about to go to seed." Laurel humored her but allowed the girl to continue. "Ah, you do know what to do. Yes, a gentle rub of the leaf. It'll be a good start. Come, you can show me." With that Laurel turned and led Charley to the greenhouses out back.

When they reached the cacophony of the daffodils she stepped aside and nodded, "Go ahead."
