The arrival of eggplant flowers is a significant milestone in our gardening journey. These delicate blooms, often boasting shades of white or lavender, are a testament to nature's beauty. They not only add an ornamental touch to our vegetable patches, but their presence signifies the exciting transition from plant growth to fruit production. These flowers play a vital role in the plant's reproductive cycle. After pollination, either by bees or by hand for some varieties, the flower will begin to develop into the eggplant we know and love. Understanding the pollination process can even help improve our harvest!
