Velvet on Baobab

Above is a flower of baobab tree, so velvety - soft and smooth.

Below are the two possible destinies of this flower.
It may become a delicious fruit (like on the left) or
it may dry up to wait for a sad demise (like on the right).

Life is so much like a velvety flower!
I always thought of a 'fruit'ful life... and yet,
here I am - all dried up and waiting for...!!
