Persimmon update (Patreon)

I've been checking on them daily since photographing the early buds, and today the flowers finally opened.  At the top you can see one that still hasn't unfurled, and can get a sense of the sort of "untwisting" move that takes place.  The flowers are small, approximately 2cm in length, and have an unusual bulbous chamber in the base, around the stamens.  They have a faint aroma that smells like .. well, like flowers.
