The Darker Side of Orchids

My wife has an obsession with Orchids and they seem to be slowly invading our house. As beautiful as Orchids are, on closer inspection I think you’ll find they have a darker side. Take their flowers for instance: their petals are arranged like the head of a cobra and if that resemblance to snakes was not enough, they have fangs (I kid you not!). Their aerial roots are spidery and reach out at you like tentacles and I can’t help but think they might grab you at any moment.

Look closely and you will see that they are seducing your wife, and stealing your home.
