Don't like either much but will go for Manus for the unusual choice of brown, an under-rated colour

Edit - should have typed quicker

Morobe

It's not a child's painting

cj maxx · 09-02-2021 08:03PM

Morobe. The other looks like a carpet

alchemist33 · 09-02-2021 08:03PM

Morobe. The butterfly on the other one looks like a 2 year old drew it

ohnonotgmail · 09-02-2021 08:06PM

Oro for me. the symbology of culture, wildlife and vegetation wins it for me. too much going on with the morobe one.

KathleenGrant · 09-02-2021 08:06PM

Morobe
The background stripes are green (for vegetation), yellow (for Markham Valley) and blue (for the sea). A white bird of paradise (representing animal life), white pigšs tusks (traditional exchange), a brown and yellow kundu drum (for festivals) and spears (for traditional warfare) are at the centre.

Oro
A gold strip of tapa cloth with red and black markings (representing culture) and a yellow Queen Alexandra birdwing butterfly (representing wildlife) cover a green background (for vegetation).

Morobe for me please.

Morobe but I hold out hopes it meets something better in round 2 and goes home

JohnGreenFan · 09-02-2021 08:13PM

Oro, Morobe hurts my eyes

SineadSpears · 09-02-2021 08:16PM

Morose because I have an irrational fear of butterflies

I can handle spiders, wasps or even centipedes. But if I see a butterfly near me I'll make a show of myself

Zaph · 09-02-2021 08:16PM

Oro, can't be too many flags around with butterflies on them.

Yeah this. Nature good, don't like seeing spears and warfare bits on flags.

Surprisingly I'm not that bothered by them.

Butterflies are either as thick as a plank & can't fly in one direction, or they know exactly what they are doing! :mad:

Fluttering in about 50 different directions so I don't know if they are going to pass me, or if they are going to fly into my mouth.

Can't trust the cnuts.

Horrible little fckers

Ugggghhhh, that description is giving me the not good kind of shivers!

(I'm not a fan of either but as long as they stay out of my home...)

I am now looking around the house for insects with the hairs standing up on the back on my neck, ffs

Bluebottle's on the other hand are great little friends. Very intelligent lil dudes. No effort at all in getting them out the house. No need to fly swat like a maniac. You basically just use a cushion or something to direct them to the window and the lil legends just casually follow your lead. Great little things. Massive appreciation for Bluebottles :pac:

Bluebottles are the spawn of the devil.

Bluebottles are thick b*st*rds, they just keep flying into the window trying to get out. I hate those dirty fcukers and exterminate them on sight with my electric zapper tennis racquet thingy.
