Poco walked a short distance from the circle. She saw a dozen plants of black cohosh in full bloom. Their delicate flowers appealed to her. They decorated the woods. Spring flowers of the woods had long faded. The flowers of summer now held court. She thought about showing the plant treasures to Tawktwon, but thought better of it. She found small
ginseng plants and marveled that the white tailed deer had not found them first. As she walked farther into the woods, she saw where rare showy orchids had bloomed in tiny patches just weeks earlier. She would definitely tell none of the drummers about this.
