2020-Gems-01 - "Camellias"

Introducing our first “non-contest” writing event!
For our first “Gems” writing event, we invite you to write a story inspired by the Camellias picture and the haiku, in the style of our previous ZenGarden prompts.  This invitation is extended until December 31, 2020 noon.

Our flower/haiku prompts often combine nature with some aspect of the human condition, and always contain one specific flower or item from the garden. 
You can see a history of our flower/haiku prompts in our ZenGarden Legacy page.
This writing invitation is for our Patrons, in gratitude for helping us keep this beautiful community alive and thriving.  This is not a contest.  Instead, we will publish any story that meets our family-friendly standards of high quality, beauty and inspiration!
If you’re a Patron, you can submit as many stories as you wish.  If you’re not yet a Patron, it’s fast and easy to become one.

    Why do my friends need to SignIn to read the post I shared?

    Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!
