How Bizarre - Episode 7

Flowers:

In 1991, botanists in New Zealand accidentally discovered "Corybas carseii", a rare orchid that blooms only two days a year, after they sat on the flower while eating lunch.

Sounds like something I'd do. I'd discover something spectacular by destroying it. "How bizarre".
