Sometimes in my daily life I run across references to orchids that are just so wrong I want to call the people responsible and let them know.  

Vanilla is an orchid, and other than a Turkish terrestrial orchid used to make ice cream, is pretty much the only agricultural orchid on the market today.  The other day I'm in the grocery, thinking I should eat some yogurt to get my stomach back in order after the holidays, but the the only type of yogurt I like is vanilla.  The whole world of yogurt has changed since I was eating it regularly.. no longer is there just a plain cup of yogurt.. now it's either a drink, or has sprinkles, or is lite... I just want regular vanilla yogurt.

So, I'm looking at the labels, trying to figure out which one might be the most basic, and I come across a vanilla yogurt with - get this - a picture of a PAPHIOPEDILUM on it!  A slipper orchid on the front of a cup of vanilla yogurt!   Most of the vanilla yogurts do have a picture of a close likeness to a vanilla flower, but a slipper orchid?  I laughed, and thought to myself that whoever the marketing person was who designed the label, didn't even bother to ask anyone, or look in a book, or surf the web, to try and actually find a picture of a vanilla orchid.

Ah well. .I don't remember the brand now, but I did get a small kick out of how inaccurate the reference was.  Orchids are such a mystery, huh?
