Sprout

Mnemonic

A flowers fang is the bud that comes out of the ground. It's like a little fang, coming from the earth, and it will become a flower someday. This is a little sprout.

Imagine a bunch of these. They look like big fangs poking out of the ground (that is, until they bloom and get into the air).
