Sex in the Garden

September 2nd, 2008 by Dan Klarmann

I was at the Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Garden on Labor Day. What did I see there, besides plenty of Japanesery? (Or is it Nipponica?)

Sex.

Water Lily and Dragon Fly

Well, okay. Tropical plants flagrantly (fragrantly?) spreading their petals and waiting brightly for consummation may not be so scandalous. But look to the right. Two couples, different species, copulating carnally for all to see.

Here’s a closer look at one of the pairs “doin’ it”:

I guess it isn’t too surprising at a venue that sells Beer and Saki together.

    I thought this was a family site.

    Truly, nice photos of the copulating animals. We’ll have to wait and see if it reaches the phenomenal popularity of the photo I took of copulating llamas. Here’s that post.
