Can you tell which is the 'Blooming Idiot'?

Just a little chuckle for you this morning. My husband and I were entering California through an inspection point when the agent asked my husband if he had any plants or flowers. His response! 'Nothing but the blooming idiot sitting next to me'. We just celebrated our 55th anniversary this month.
I took this picture on his 87th birthday last week. He wants to know if you can tell which one is the 'blooming idiot'.

Thanks for the chuckles! Those are beautiful phal blooms.

Happy anniversary to you and your hubby!

LOL - my wife and I BOTH got a good laugh. Yes - ditto - nice orchid and congratulations! Next time have him smile REAL big and see if he can outshine your phal (which will be a BIG challenge!).

I think my wife would have hit me for that remark rather than get a chuckle. I guess because we have only been married 25 years

I would say "the whitish pink one," and my wife would say, "they both are." but we're still newlyweds.
