Annual vs Perennial Seeds — Human Seeds and the Seed of the Scion
- Annual plants complete their entire life cycle in a single growing season and die.
- Perennial plants live for 3+ years (varies by species).
- Perennials bloom for a short duration, investing their energy in growing roots.
- Annuals bloom continuously from spring to frost, invest in the flower to multiply their seeds.
Annual plants survive without humans by producing massive amounts of seeds that drop into the soil and lie dormant until favorable spring conditions arrive. This survival strategy relies entirely on self-seeding rather than keeping the parent plant alive.
Human’s Seed is an Annual Seed that must first grow on its own, until it manifests the Seed of the Scion. It must still grow to bear the limb that can be grafted onto the Living Vine. The long-suffering Seed is the condition for the Scion to grow.
