I thought I heard about that. Wasen't he a fashion photographer? And this picture looks "worse" than mine. I think it's the red. The best part is that staimen is red on the tip!!! They still look like hearts to me. But the lily I posted regularly reminds me of baby corn ( I agree with Marshmallow ), a tongue, and...Drum roll please...a Carrot!! Yes they have always reminded me of carrots. However I can tell you from personal experience that they taste nothing like carrots and they can make you sick. However they don't taste disgusting. ( I ate some when I was a wee tike. Mom. My stomach hurts. =:-P > ) Sincerely, Brian Stephens
