Default "Baby Orchids".....

But, even if paraphrased, it deserves a mention.

Pictured in yesterday's Times was a lovely bottle (read flask) in which
rested a "baby orchid". The brief accompanying article noted that the
flask could not be opened until the orchid reached the top of the flask,
and that the orchid was sitting on agar. Thirty-something bucks for this
little useless piece of coffee table trivia, which will face certain
death when the owner opens the flask.

Some folks have just a tad too much patience for geegaws!
