Research is ongoing to determine whether these are the work of an avant-garde biochemist, or simply proof of Nature’s simplicity and beauty. Several haiku have been recovered from these flowers, and many like them, which have recently sprung up across South-eastern Asia, from Malaysia to Mongolia. Government officials have been non-communicative as to whether these are considered a threat.

creature of habits
strives to climb from the furrow
disgusted by self

mind in the gutter
pissed on, disease-encrusted
looking for next score

the most beautiful
thought given stage and context
begs execution

Meanwhile, purists argue about their classification–whether these can be considered haiku-proper due to their seasonal spawning, or if what is written about, itself, must include a season term.
