Hi Tony. You have quite a nice touch at the Ku. This is lovely, tender, and anticipatory. Thanks.

I like this - reflecting the brilliance of nature's seemingly simple dances. Thank you.

Wow! This lead me to the realization that there really is something called the "Bee Orchid"! And part of it REALLY looks like a bee!!! Amazing --I want one. (It seems that it is almost entirely self-pollinating?? Maybe because it scares other pollinators?) But I have to believe that a bee who certainly want to mate with it and make that mistake!!!! Wise and funny!
