Amazing Flower



Now and then, all of a sudden, I see something or someone so beautiful that it, or she, takes my breath away.

I'm a natural window shopper.

Eye candy.

Pretty girls turn my heads. So do flowers, hummingbirds, and certain trees.

I'm all eyes in some ways.

Isn't this flower lovely? Almost makes you believe in God, eh?

Not me. It makes me believe in evolution. This flower clearly has evolved a strategy based on the same protective coloration other species employ to either repell enemies or invite pollinators.

I'm no scientist, but in this case, I suspect the second strategy is at work. Who wouldn't want to pollinate someone/something this beautiful? (Answer: no one with a working stinger.)

I just wonder if she's single.
