What does the flower on the cover of a.s.h mean?

[sianlouisa]

isnt it meant to represent a males genitals as well. i saw an album which the guys had signed and apprently when jared would get bored he would make the long bit look like a penis, and on this album he had done that, he also blacked out his eyes. LOL. but i think it may also be a reference to a transexual or something (not that im saying a transexual has both parts but u get what im sayin right). Do not hold me to anything i have just said tho.

The flowers on the covers are orchids aren't they? I'm not entirely sure...

But, on Midsomer Murders (of all things), someone said that the word 'orchid' come from the Latin root of the word 'orgasm', or translates to 'orgasm' in some ancient language... something along those lines anyway.

So visually and linguistically thety're most appropraite.

I got to argue with midsummer murders,

Orchids get their name from the Greek orchis, meaning 'testicle', from the appearance of subterranean tuberoids in some terrestrial species. The word 'orchis' was first used by Theophrastos (372/371 - 287/286 BC), in his book "De historia plantarum" (The natural history of plants). He was a student of Aristotle and is considered the father of botany and ecology.
