Orchids....


"...the inflatable love dolls of the floral
kingdom."

@ Love and Lies,
National Geographic via NPR

..what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. ... And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. ... In this sense they show us how to live -- how the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.
