Sowing the Seed of Love II

This is part II of my earlier post on the same subject. Sadly, due to the super heat, dry weather and very strong wind, the bean plant has succumbed to the harsh growing conditions and is drying up. My last attempt to revive it seemed futile. It's slowly withering away......

It has actually grown to about 4-5cm tall and looked healthy. Suddenly, overnight, the top part of the stem began to turn brown. Thinking that the soil was too dry, I added more water but somehow the leaves started to dry up as well and now the whole plant is brown. My boy is also sad about it too. We were initally quite excited about its healthy growth. We looked at it and said hi to it every morning before setting off to school. Now, it's almost gone........
