Maybe it's because of Adaptation, but we're kind of fascinated by orchids.  And we're pretty excited for the 57th annual Pacific Orchid Expo, which kicks off tomorrow and will shower the Fort Mason Pavilion with more than 150,000 of these mysterious, beautiful plants (okay, so maybe we're kind of obsessed with orchids).

In celebration of this orchid take-over, we're running an orchid trivia contest.  The first commentor to answer all these questions correctly will win free entrance to the Expo and a beautiful orchid.  Good luck to you.
