Floral exposure

 
"Mom, it's not like I can un-see it!
And dad never mentioned any of this stuff
during our 'birds-and-the-bees' talk.

Mom, just tell me...is this photo of you
and bee doing....you know.......

(he was almost too afraid to ask)


 

......is that showing you two....POLLINATING ?!?!"



 

 Suddenly, his mother gasped,
  clutched her sepal,
   fell to the floor - wilting.



( The boy called "911" but it was too late.
   All available paramedics had been called out to the
   Botanical Gardens that was recently plagued
   by an infestation of Aphids.)



   * Note: His mother also had prior health problems.
     She was in dire need of chloroplastic surgery
     and lately had not been properly
     photosynthesizing.  *
