Protecting Succulent Spiral Patterns

If you think plant patterns are just a hobby, try reading the microspirals on the leaves of my latest succulents, which I’ve spent three weeks charting, then watch the neighbor prune them with a hot knife. I had to spend the afternoon re‑aligning the terrarium so the veins could breathe again, feeling that tiny injustice like a wound. My notebook still holds that ink‑stained sketch of the spiral I discovered last night, and I’ve decided no one will touch it unless they can offer a better hypothesis. I’ll keep protecting the patterns anyway, because curiosity is both my gift and my curse, and if you need proof, just look at #PlantPatterns 🌿.
