Pure Haiku - theme Orchid

 I am pleased to have had one of my haiku accepted for publication on Pure Haiku.  The theme was Orchid, inspired by this image of orchids by Jonathon B. Hoyt.  In my haiku I mention "kadō," which means "the way of the flowers," also called "ikebana," and is the Japanese art of flower arrangement.  The art began in ancient times as offerings to a god or Buddha.  It was part of the training for educated men, such as monks and samurai.
