Orchid Green Canon 30d

The point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific realtionship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid ~ looks exactly like a certain insect. So the insect is drawn to this flower ~ it's double ~ it's soul mate ~ and wants nothing more than to make love to it.
After the insect flies off, it spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever know the significance of their lovemaking. How could they know that because of their litte dance, the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense, they show us how to live. How the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.
