lolli-tree

Since the start of this spring, Daivik has been busy in the garden. He has sown seeds, waited and watched them sprout, observed the contours of the first leaves, the magic of the first flowers and amazed that vegetables come out of flowers. Today, as we were holding a lolli-pop between us and discussing the pro's (tasty) and con's (not good for health) of eating it, and negotiating for a reasonable compromise between the two, he had his eureka moment. Even as I was watching him, his eyes lit up and in less than a flash, a wave of inspiration washed over him. He explained it to me in a HurriedExcitedAnimated tone :
"appa, we will dig up the soil and put this lolli inside and cover it up. (shows how he will do it). then after sometime, "magic" will happen and 'lolli-tree' will come out. first we will have lolli-leaves, then another magic will happen and we will have lolli-flowers and then many many lolli's. after that I will pick them up all and eat them. (picks up and eats)"

So, we went out and 'planted' his lolli. We are going to wait for it to sprout. 

Question : will we get that lolli-tree ? How will it look ?
