Orbis Writings

I’m not referring to the novel, The Ruins, that I recently completed.  But what if people could be deceived by plants, maybe alien plants, or monster plants, into mating with them.  Maybe plants that look like a sexy red head.

This this based on a great article I just found.

Orchids that mimic female wasps may not only waste the time of the male wasps they lure into spreading their pollen — they also seduce them into wasting valuable sperm, Australian researchers reported on Wednesday.

This is pretty scary stuff for wasps.  A plant that supposedly cannot see is able to make themselves look like female wasps.  Of course, this is evolution at work.

Maybe some of the girls that I’ve met were actually walking birch trees.
