Reminds me of seeing a picture of strings of threaded Ophrys tubers, thousands of them, harvested from the wild in Turkey to make salep. 
Painful to see, now that they are very rare in much of their range. I've had a few that I obsessively doted over yet only managed to coax out of them weak winter growth on windowsills and under lights and eventual death before normal summer dormancy, so its all very heartbreaking.

Hi, Jim, :o)
That is not something that I could bear to watch, LOL!
