To be, or not to be...

Siberia. Summer. We have a serious event - potatoes have blossomed in our small garden. And everything would be simple if there was an answer to the question in my head: should I cut off the flowers of potatoes? It's good that today there is a very smart agronomist called Mr. Internet. I open it and read:
"Based on the results of the experiment, scientists came to the conclusion that it is not worth interfering with the flowering process of potatoes. In fact, potatoes do not need flowers, they do not play a role in the process of root crop formation. During the process of plucking, the plant is injured and spends energy on its restoration, therefore, complete pruning, especially of the entire upper part of the shoots, cannot be carried out, but some flowers are still desirable plucking. This procedure increases the yield."
It's very difficult... And okay, I remember Shakespeare and, ...
I take out my camera.
"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep;"
No, friends. Perhaps it is better to take a camera in hand and do a photo shoot for Mrs. Potato.

Dear lomodesbro.
Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
I notice that some very elegant details of nature remain completely unnoticed. And it is especially incomprehensible when this happens undeservedly. After all, these are special flowers - potato flowers. The average European citizen consumed 90 kg of potatoes per year quite recently, and in Russia he consumed 130 kg per year. (data from the Internet). And there is no piety for the flowers of this breadwinner of the continents.

Dear gmbernsteing.
Thank you for your attention, opinion and emotions.
Sometimes it seems to me that our photocameras, despite their geometric dimensions, are huge giants. And it is very convenient and easy to hide behind these giants from science, and from poetry, and from prose, and even from yourself.
