Beautiful picture. I came in to your site because we have a common interest in the movie The Last Wave. How ya doing? My name is Olympiada. Come check my site if you are interested.
"Pron" or "pr0n" is a joke name for "porn." When email filters started to automatically reject email with potentially offensive words like "porn" in it, email spammers began to purposely misspell those words so that they would not trigger the filters, thus creating words like "pron." (Also, people who want to refer to these words in a roundabout way so that common web searches will not find their blogs will sometimes use these deliberate misspellings.)
Using the number zero instead of the letter O is a further joke based on the "leet speak" or "1337 speek" found on the Internet ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet ).
And since flowers are the sexual organs of plants, it is also a joke to call close-up photos of flowers "flower pr0n." I did not invent this term, I've seen it used in reference to flower photography for years.
