the petal position

You know how yawning is contagious? It might just be that confusion is too. Case in point is spring: i think the weather is confused, which is usual in Holland, but it looks like that confuses the flora as well. The green obviously responds well to all this variation of warm sun and cold rain

But this poor set of leaves unfolding seemed to think it was both a rose and turning fall already

Makes me wonder about the relationship between leaves and petals; do you think there's envy there? Mutual admiration? There has to be a really butch petal out there somewhere, wishing it were a leaf, if there's leaves like this trying to be petal-ish. The confusion continues.
