"Downside Flower"

I was walking along and noticed a downside flower.

The petals were in the ground and the stem grew into the sky.

Many things I wondered, but most all, why.

And then I saw the bees the dug into the earth.

They would come up from the ground to help with flower birth.

I thought that surely science would know about this behavior.

Was this nature's new development or simply another flavor?

So, later that day, when talking with friends, I wowed them with stories of a flower on end.

Of course they would ask me to show them what I saw.

But by the time we arrived the flower had grown tall.

They said, "There's no tiny flower with petals downward facing."

So they called me a liar and said I was crazy.
