When with a serious musing I behold  The graceful and obsequious marigold,    How duly every morning she displays      Her open breast, when Titan spreads his rays.      - George Wither,        The Marigold

Fun fact: Orchids are pollinated by moths that think these gorgeous flowers are other moths, and try to mate with them. Talk about leading you on!

More specifically, some orchids like Ophrys and Chiloglottis are polinated this way. This bloom belongs to the genus Phalaenopsis, which is commonly called the Moth Orchid because it resembled a Phanaela moth in flight.
