Read the poem and answer the question.

Little brown seed, round and round.
Here I put you in the ground.
You can sleep a week or two,
Then-I'll tell you what to do:
You must grow some downward roots,
Then some tiny upward shoots.
From those green shoots' folded sheaves
Soon must come some healthy leaves,
When the leaves have time to grow,
Next, a bunch of buds must show.
Last, of all the buds must spread,
Into blossoms white or red.
There, seed! I've done my best,
Please do grow and do the rest.
