Wild orchids.

so-soPsyche and Eros has been a favorite myth of mine for quite a while. I even worked on my own retelling a few years ago, but I couldn't quite get to the bottom of the emotional truths I was trying to convey.

2. Camille and Silo!
3. Great horned owl (in a place where they don't use poison on rodents) or a barn swallow.
4. Done!
