a flower in bud


Explanation:
This is as suggested previously the state of the flower - "sing like a flower in bud"

Example sentence(s):
  • It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed
