a small word for a big subject. small in many aspects. it sells it subject short in a vast array of ways. it is more than the mud plants and trees grow in. it is a biosphere of life on which plants ride in many ways as much as a ship sails the sea. what we see above the soil only hints at what goes on below. the fungi, bacteria, and other animals that populate the soil are a wealth to be studied. their interrelationships are only briefly known and studied. the fairy rings we see growing in the grass only hint at the wonders below. for myself i will be pleased if i only discover a bit of the magic that hides in this flower. if only i can tease a small peak in the seedlings it shares…

A beautiful flower growing in the golden earth.
Thanks Lauren.
Looks like you have some dirt on the Kyoto Swan x Wanda Evans love child.
The average person pays close attention to what is above the ground but not so much to what is below, and that is where the magic starts. 🙂
