Orchidess (Free verse) by abecedarian

Smooth slender tendrils Twist a whimsied spiral Down and around The hanging of a garden abounding with allure Watch we As this bee assumes its place In this careful charade Too late startled by a motion It itself did engage By brushing ‘gainst a treachery Lunging, this orchidess stabs its gametic knife Connecting Her purposes served la Fleur resumes an apathetic posture Catasetum the Merciless, spare our souls

Nice work. However, I saw a picture of a Catasetum that looked short and stocky, rather than smooth and slender. The smooth and slender/spiralling tendrils reminds me more of the ghost orchid in that movie, "Adaptation". What did the French "la Fleur" add to the poem?
