Description

Watch a tiny bean seed transform into a flourishing plant as you follow its journey from germination to harvest. The story follows the seed as it pushes out roots, unfurls leaves, and blossoms into flowers that rely on insects for pollination. Finally, the plant produces fresh beans that can be picked and eaten, completing the life cycle.
