Tears of Madeleine

Today the wind blew
The storm dark and furious
Potted trees knocked over, much too numerous
Madeleine des Deux Saisons among them
Lost two more breba... ouch! 
Though three yet remain, I lament the loss
The tears of Madeleine


Here are a few pictures of her tears.  Including one split open, in case anyone wonders what an immature Madeleine des Deux Saisons breba looks like inside.  Afterward, I consoled myself with a store-bought Black Mission.

The pics:

Hi,
It is common here to have those first brebas being a pain ... I have one "Dalmatie" ripening ... She has a hole on one side. I don't know what happened ... Sun, birds, ants, other insects ...
All this waiting for just nothing ... But that's part of the fun I suppose .
