I accidentally got dragged into a high-end flower appreciation group after my boyfriend's phone was mistakenly touched. "Exquisite Orchid, still in bud, pure and untouched, for the connoisseurs among us." The image attached was just a plain, nondescript stock photo of an orchid. The language used in this flower-selling group felt odd and unsettling, with members using flower names as their usernames, discussing how to "harvest." It wasn't until a private photo was shared that I froze in shock. The "Orchid" in the picture was my own sister.
