Defence mechanism?


I just went back to look at the Night Scented Stock seed supplier, and saw these orchids. I thought they also sold well-dressed monkeys for a moment.

      I don't think so. Why would s seed merchant do that?

      I enlarged them and got suspicious but this is a seed catalogue!

    If you had not revealed that these were orchid photographs, I would be 100% betting they were monkeys, exotic monkeys.

    I also wanted to mention that I liked the rather spooky reflection photo in your prior post.

    Best wishes.

    No monkey business in that picture, I don't think?

      Sorry, I forgot. If you go onto ebay UK and look up Night Scented Stock you will find them. Oh and it is 12,000 for 99p, not 30,000 as I said. It's still a lot!

    I love orchids, but couldn't have those. I mustn't look too closely at the ones currently blooming.

    Unreal! I am still not convinced that the top right one is a flower. Do these creations have monkey names? On second thought, what would be a monkey name?

      They are sometimes called Monkey Orchids I think.

    I knew a Monkey once, who thought that most humans looked like Orchids.

    I have checked, and these are real flowers. I was disappointed to find out that the beautiful naked women who hang from trees as fruit in the Himalayas are a fake, though.
