Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is most often a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.

    I think they grow wild at the side of a nearby pond. They are exquisite. Another orchid grower on AC is also a great poet - Orchiolum

    Orchids are great flowers. My friend used to have a collection of them blooming at different times.
