The Italian naked man orchid
May pander to a man's virility
A simple taste, a quick bite of its
Tempting flower may surprise you
With a lobed lip upon each flower
This many layered orchid
Mimics the shape of a naked man
A Mediterranean native
Rare in inflorescence, composed of many flowers
Delicately cut in strips
Bright pink, densely clustered flowers
Their strongly undulating basal leaves
In their rosette states
May make a chaste maiden blush
Find these handsome gents
Growing in partial shade, in lean grasslands
Open Garriques (shrublands) and light wooded areas
Indulge your senses
See. Touch. Taste.

Doing it for the troops
The others dropped like flies around me. We fought and struggled to get to this point. I'm the only one left now. The objective is right there. A mere two hundred feet away. The last of my team got a bullet to the head right next to me, but I couldn't do anything. I was able to locate and neutralise the sniper as he shot my friend, so his death was at least not in vain.
