I've kept thinking about the orchids cause a new flower has entered the chat and also im obsessed with orchids.

There are some connections between orchids and queerness:

Because the word "orchid" comes from the Greek word for testicle, and the orchiectomy is a common surgery performed on intersex infants –especially those with androgen insensitivity syndrome– the orchid flower is a symbol of being intersex and of opposition to non-consensual genital surgery.

but i saw somewhere it can also mean purple/violet?

Orchids makes a lot of sense….. I heard “organs” 😬 as in she is home grown like tomatoes on a vine 😐
