JJ I know you meant petals. "Play on words" was what hit me\

headline after.

Who knows what the hand gestures turned into once the 'speaking lamp' was lit. They may have even used semaphores ... or smoke signals ...

...because they were so far

DENIAL is not a d in de Nile, Mister Endy.
Denial is you deciding whether you are as hip as Wolfman, the Lambsman, the Tromboneman or I.

Sad to say Endy, but you are

Best of luck in your next life. smile
