Its not blooming. It's been weeks since spring arrived. It arrived early too! Julie and her siblings made it so! All that fuss Julie made..yet one. One flower! ..It won't bloom. She's never had this problem. Ever. Why now? She was losing her touch? No no can't be. Julie Joyful ALWAYS makes the flowers bloom! Some take longer than others..! ..Spring came early. Maybe its taking its time. Right.. right? God, Julie hopes its a late bloomer. She's in a little storm of self doubt. What would Franny, Jonesy, and Bea think. Hell, what would Frank think? She boosted so much about her rainbow monster skills to him!

One flower.

It's just one flower.

All Julie could do was..stare at this flower. What else could she say. She's tempted to just destroy it. Why was it still here. To mock her..?
