Grape Futures


This photograph shows the embryonic flowers which in a few months will have been transformed into grapes. They were formed during the last growing season and have emerged along with the first shoots, spurred on by the lengthening days and higher temperatures. It is on these delicate forms that the vine grower's season depends, threatened as they are by late frost, bad weather at flowering and many other hazards.
