I think that the above image I took at Green Cay Wetlands in Palm Beach County, Florida is complimented by the lyrics of Americas Greatest Songwriter of the last 40 years, Brian Wilson. This song he wrote on the Beach Boys' Surf's Up album is so powerful yet poignant in its simplicity, much like the image of a flower.
Until I Dieby Brian Wilson
I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way
Hey hey hey
I'm a rock in a landslide
Rolling over the mountainside
How deep is the valley?
How deep is the valley?
It kills my soul
Hey hey hey
I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Ohhhh
Until I die
Until I die
These things I'll be until I die

And beyond. Love those lyrics.
Beautiful flower, too.
I take great offence at your prominent display of pornographic images! You have made available to young prying eyes the pistol and stamen of an orchid, the most vile and sexual depraved flora in the entire plant world! Dear Sir, I implore you to cease and desist your overt display of hedonistic plants! Why not return to your original subjects, more wholesome and family oriented? I truly enjoy your beach shots, especially those with scantly clad women posing in seductive manner. I admire the way you capture long hard Palm trees bending in ecstasy in hot breezes just before they “drop their coconuts.” Your portraits of the never ending panoramas of the ocean gently caressing the white sandy beaches, supple and eternally youthful waves crashing against the wet hot sands excite the primordial reptilian epicenter of my grey matter. WOW, those shots turn me on and get the Wife going: and the kids love em’! But this vile filth you are now presenting makes me sick. GOOD DAY SIR! Craw.
lol craw. Sadly the image is not an orchid. Maybe you would prefer a photo of a larch or a scotch pine?
