Something about this picture makes me think of the word "jaunty." (1. Having a buoyant or self-confident air; brisk. 2. Crisp and dapper in appearance; natty. ref) Perhaps it's just me.
Delightful! And how unromantic for the Phactor to come up with such an image. It says to me, "pretty girl in a party dress". What it also says is "I want one! Now!!" Ooooh sometimes my space and environmental limitations hurt.
That picture does make me think of something, but jaunty isn't the word for a botanically correct urinal.

ReplyDeleteIt is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCurious, how is it that you have a picture of this unusual orchid?

ReplyDeleteIt was at the orchid show in the Quad Cities three weeks ago.
Paph. micranthum is known as the toilet bowl orchid among orchid growers.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks jaunty because of the horizontal petals. They look like a well-groomed old-timey mustache.
