Gold Medallion Tree

Though sociologists and world peace optimists might watch the Olympics to witness a global community, most of us sit glued to the television for 2 weeks to witness the rewards of ultimate athleticism.  Since very few of us are willing to completely surrender our lives to becoming the very best, we must watch others win the gold medal instead.  Us laymen must settle for charming bundles of yellow flowers presented to us by the Gold Medallion tree.  We might not get bragging rights, but we do get butterflies and drought tolerant growing conditions.
