Urpflanze(Haiku)


Ode to thee great seed
that split the atom of life;
Godfather of plants. 
* Johann Wolfgang von Goethe suggested
   that all plants came from "one" primitive
   plant called "Urpflanze." Many others like
   Charles Darwin, Josiah Wedgewood, and 
   even Benjamin Franklin all incorporated
   these similar ideas.
