Once, a fox was boasting to a cat.”So clever am I, I know hundreds of tricks! How many do you have?” asked Fox. Cat replied, “just one-but it is useful.” “What! How much good can just one do, compared to hundreds?” exclaimed the fox. Wolves came, and Fox had so many plans, Fox could not choose one, and froze in fear. The cat scrambled up a tree. “There. That is my trick.Very useful-wouldn’t you agree?” And the wolves killed the fox and ate it.

orchids, alien and other worldly. beauty, bordering the grotesque and bizarre, strangely exhilarating. variations, wild and uninhibited, even orgiastic, of a mind, as if, not of this world; shapes and sizes, folds and spirals colours and colourations. at times, more animal or insect, than flower. if a rose is Mozart, an orchid, Stravinsky.
