    When I saw the title of this post, but hadn't seen the picture yet, my first thought was, "How can a flower have more than one husband?" My second thought was, "There's a typo...it's missing the n in polyandry." Upon seeing the picture, my thought process went something like this:

    This flower has nothing to do with having more than one husband.

    I guess there wasn't a typo.

    Strange that a flower name would be so close to polyandry.

    There are times I don't even like the one husband I have. I don't know why ANYONE would want more than one.

    I could use an extra wife around here though.

    Pretty flower.

    It was a typo. I was working the angle that there is one female reproductive organ and 6 male reproductive organs on the flower.

    I think the flower is a Lily, but my expert plant friend is probably asleep right now and she'll tell me in the morning I'm sure.

    i'm going to guess i'm your "plant expert friend" :)
    yep, the flower is a lilly, but the word isnt "polyandry" it has some other special name to it. it is a pretty flower though.
