ABOUT US
We are the underground flowers. We bloom with a rare fragrance, underground. We belong to the Orchidae. Rare, colourful, fragrant, for all time.
They who need us, must dig for us,
and we'll perfume their lives forever.
Because we,
are the underground flowers.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air;
And, lovely, learn by going where to go. Theodore Roethke (The Waking)

Where are the poems, that like coloured leaves of Fall, hide in them birds of beauty, mystery, and song?
