This picture was taken at the
Botanical Garden of Montreal. It is of an orchid, I don't know which one. I mentioned it before: my father grows orchids. That is
his flowers. I mentioned it
here. I find orchids beautiful, but in a sinister way. I think they look somewhat ophidian and spider-like. Those look like ophidian, like a bunch of tangled snakes with leopard coloured scales. They just struck me, they look dangerous, even lethal.
I used to feel that way about orchids, I never cared for them much, although I appreciate that they are beautiful. But then I went to Thailand and saw orchids in their natural setting, and my attitude towards them completely changed. Perhaps it is because I had only seen them outside of context before. Seeing them in their lush natural environment they seemed like another plant completely.
ReplyDeleteI saw some in their natural environment, but in France. In Thailand it must be quite a spectacle.
