Hehe... i didn't come up with the name... :-P
btw, if u look close enough, u might actually y its called a man and not a woman... ;-)
Great name! I was going to 'Favorite' this spotting ..... but then I thought perhaps I'd better not : )
As far as i know, its not engineered... i also uploaded a pic of O.simia, the monkey orchid... looks pretty much the same, but more monkey-like, hands and feet curled up... hehe...
That's funny! It's a beautiful flower...if you don't stare too hard at it! Do you know if it's wild? Or did man engineer it? I love the colors!
