Rarest Orchid

Flowers are beautiful. They come in a huge array of colors and are known to brighten anyone’s day. Every girls loves receiving flowers on special occasions. You may want to consider this one to tell her I love you.

Orchids are not cheap, depending on which one you get the price range is huge, however, I never though I would find one that is at a price tag of $200,000. In 2005 a group of Chinese scientists did agricultural research to grow a very rare unique species of this beautiful flower. Not only is this flower expensive because it was man made, but also because it takes about four or five years to bloom.

p/s : Do any readers out there knew the species of orchid shown in the picture above?

Stupid And Funny Boat Names

I think that a boat, however small or scruffy, should sport a dignified name. “Stars and Stripes” is a good name for an America’s Cup defender. But some of the names people saddle a poor defenseless boat with are beyond belief. Not to mention funny as hell! Besides, when you’re sinking and want the Coast Guard to come quickly, you don’t want to have to spell “Sea Weedy Pie” over the radio. In doing a bit of digging around, I found some other dumb names for a boat. Hope you have lots of fun with this.
