Vixen 15/365



Can you guess what this is?

Very few people could.

I have had this portrait hanging on my fridge
for almost a year. My in-laws came over, kids came over, friends...everyone. Many people didn't notice it (there are other pictures there as well, although this one is the biggest!).

Whenever Orion and I got asked what it was, we would say "Oh, it's a
rare, exotic plant".

Yep...it's very rare...and very exotic. Leave your guesses;)

Hint: I did some cropping from the original since we're rated R.

Edited to Add:


This is an Echinopsis lageniformis cactus of the monstrose variety, a plant that flourishes in the high deserts in South America---I think that's the right spelling, but don't quote me on that. My world traveler horticulturist neighbor brought it to us from Bolivia last year. She had to dry it out so she could bring it to the US (since it's illegal to bring in fresh food or plants), so the one we have is almost brown. It's the innocuous part of it that just got me...everyone assumes it's a penis! There is no ass, lady parts or panties...that is my neck and shoulder and I was wearing a purple shirt. I just played with the color, threw alot of brightness in it, had my face and bracelet in the shot, cropped it and photoshopped/kaleidoscoped it.

Rare and exotic? I've looked at every angle and just can't figure it out.

A female kneeling with no underwear?

I say bikini line LOL

Now I see it as one picture repeated 4 times as in a kaleidoscope. Not sure I want to guess what it is. It wouldn't be hanging on my fridge.

Tanya September 15, 2009 at 4:32 PM  

I think it's butt checks, a rectum, and a vagina. LOL!

I'm with Judy. I think there's a kaleidoscope view in place and I wouldn't have it on my fridge either. If we're wrong...shame on us. But I think I see "things" that I shouldn't be seeing.

Penis

I'm with Goddess, that looks like the head of a penis to me and I'm with several others, I wouldn't have it posted on my fridge. If that makes me a prude, so be it.

Oh no. I didn't even think I was looking at someone's peen. Now I'm wondering if the other ladies are right. And if they are? I'm not going to be too happy about it. Ugh...I hope we're all wrong and it's something completely bizarre and random.

I'm going with some clean shaved balls

No. Not awesome. Especially when there are twelve and thirteen year old young women here.

I'm trying to remain calm right now...but this isn't going to turn out well.

Call me a prude. Throw the slings and arrows. I don't care.

Vixen September 15, 2009 at 9:41 PM  

Wow...you ladies have really dirty minds. It has nothing to do with sex whatsoever!

You're all wrong. That's what everyone that has seen it automatically thinks! I actually had an argument with my Mother in law, she swore it was a penis/balls as well. LOL.

If it makes you all uncomfortable, sure, take it off. No worries.

Amanda Nellie September 15, 2009 at 11:26 PM  

I am laughing so hard.

~Lisa~ September 15, 2009 at 11:55 PM  

LOL!!!! I have been checking back for the answer. I confess, I was seeing the lady parts, too. It's the purple that threw me. But I couldn't come up with any guesses.

That was a good one!

Kirsten September 16, 2009 at 9:45 AM  

Good work Vixen! You had me answering the way I did because of your R-rated comment. Totally threw me off. LOL again Good Work!

Wendy September 16, 2009 at 9:51 AM  

Oh, man. I love it! I was looking for dirty parts the whole time!

Judy September 16, 2009 at 12:44 PM  

If you Google echinopsis lageniformis you will learn that this is indeed also known as the "penis plant". Still would not have it on my fridge.
