Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 15-2-2007(20): Butterbur flowers can be seen along the path.

2) [dihutenosa] 29-7-2008(19): In Aikita, the butterbur grow so huge that they use them to line public walking paths. The large flowers at the top (don't get it confused - they may look like leaves, but they are really just broad, green flowers) provide shade and make for a very pleasant public path way.

3) [astridtops] 11-10-2006(12): A Butterbur is a plant, but also, in LOTR, Butterbur is the name of the owner of the Prancing Pony. The hobbits met him on their path to Mount Doom.

4) [blannk] 10-12-2009(6): [+mantixen] Butterbur flowers line the path but the path has been spread with butter & you slip in it & get a bur in your ass.

5) [wilsoncb] 24-8-2010(4): Since butterbur means nothing to me, I'll think of Butterbeer, the beverage from the Harry Potter franchise. Eating too many of the flowers that it's made from can lead one onto the path of alcoholism…
