Once the first root is extended, the plant will never again enjoy any hope (however feeble) of relocating to a place less cold, less dry, less dangerous. Indeed, it will face frost, drought, and greedy jaws without any possibility of flight.

It assesses the light and humidity of the moment, refers to its programming, and quite literally takes the plunge. — Hope Jahren

But when it drops into your life, you can only hope that you have enough strength to hang on. — Calia Read
