Afternoon Delight

Claude ambles down the lane, leaning heavily on his walking stick. On this oppressively hot afternoon, the old man has the neighborhood to himself. He looks around as he approaches his quarry: a stalk of pale purple orchids wired to the trunk of a Gumbo-Limbo tree. Leaning forward as if to sniff a blossom, he pops it into his mouth, biting through the stem in one quick, practiced motion. A look of perverse joy washes over his face as he chews the flower and he seems more energized as he strolls to the next cluster of orchids in the distance.

Are these pale purple orchids a stimulant or something?

Or does Claude feel invigorated simply by his act of clandestine floral ingestion?
