Orchids and Onions by Florence McGehee
A playful, rambling column on nature, beauty, and human vanity. The author muses on mountain lakes, pines, and summer scenery, interlaced with theatrical inanity and breezy literary references, while poking fun at outdated social mores and private nudity. The tone is wry and nostalgic, packed with colorful asides and casual personal voice.
