[Year of the Tiger, May 4th]
"A gentleman is like an orchid"?
This phrase is now derogatory in my book!
After staying in the Ten Thousand Wood Forest for over two months, I discovered that among the Grass and Wood Demon Clan, the Orchid clan is the largest.
Orchids come in many varieties; they can grow on rocks or trees, in decaying matter, and on the ground.
The appearance of orchids is diverse, with different colors, shapes, and scents that can attract bees and butterflies from all directions.
In the Ten Thousand Wood Forest, if a flower wants to pollinate, it must first use its nutrients to make some nectar to reward the hard-working insects.
But orchids, they mimic the stamens of other flowers, tricking those insects into coming to their flowers.
The insects search hard only to find no nectar, but end up carrying orchid pollen on their bodies and then fly to another orchid, completing the pollination process.
Very clever, but isn't this way too dishonest!
