a wild flower

Amma's garden bloomed behind our old Chennai mansion, where jasmine vines climbed heritage walls. She pressed flowers between ancient Tamil manuscripts, preserving stories like I preserve digital memories on the Stellar blockchain. When she passed, I digitized her pressed flowers as NFTs, creating immutable records of our family's botanical legacy. Each token held coordinates from our Mylapore home, botanical names in Tamil script, planting dates in her delicate handwriting. Neighbors began sharing their own heritage gardens. Soon, our community created a distributed network of Chennai's forgotten green spaces, anchored forever on blockchain, blooming eternally in digital gardens where tradition meets innovation.
