Silphium is such a rare plant that she must always be collecting her seeds and planting new fields. Hiding from people as she cares for her plants leads to a lonely existence. When Silphium comes across a curious farm boy she begins to ignore all the nymph rules. It could be dangerous for her, and all nymphs, if her secret is discovered. Silphium soon learns that she is keeping more secrets than she knows, and they are all held in a tiny seed.
