Green and Red Peppers

These small, tightly-closed green buds nestled amongst the glossy leaves of the pepper plant are a welcome sight and a critical milestone.

With continued sunlight and care, they will soon open into small, delicate flowers, which, once pollinated, will transform into the crisp, sweet green peppers destined for the table.
