Stricken with a painful ear infection since last week, I haven't been paying much mind to sex, much less to writing about sex or even -- heaven forbid! -- having sex, but that's just as well, because my orchids have been getting more action than a Republican congressman!
So instead of reading any of Manola's thoughts on the state of sex and other matters on Miami Beach, please take a moment from your busy day to relax in my lush tropical garden and enjoy my latest bloomer.
There's a story behind this prodigious bloom. Sir Fish A Lot, my second boyfriend, gave me this orchid in lieu of an engagement ring on Valentine's Day 1998, just a few months before we would separate.
This gorgeous oncidium has not bloomed in eight years!
One scientific theory attributes this sudden blossoming to all the pent-up sexual energy beaming from this blog, which if properly harnessed and distributed, could help light the city of Miami after a hurricane! Manola's theory, on the other hand, believes this blooming is just like love: something had to happen at the right place at the right time to create a thing of beauty. Or maybe, just maybe, it's simply another much-anticipated episode of plant porn ...

Why Tart, I am the resident Mr. Crabby expert! Thanks for stopping by! :-)
ha, didn't see a bash at republicans coming in an article about orchids...
Sorry to hear about your ear infection, Manola. May you feel much better, very soon.
Such lovely orchids. May I come over and deflower you?
Wow, plants doing it. Nice angle.
I like it.
I take that blooming as a sign that good things are about to happen for you!
Feel better!
they are beautiful
Hah! Those are my favorites. I am a flower nerd. Yea, yea, symbolism and Georgia O'Keefe and whatever else you can add.
Congrats on the orchid!
That orchid has a heckuva blossom stalk! Awesome.
