Les Oeillets aux Clefs (the pink carnations of keys) was painted using various mediums on paper. It is dated and signed 1967, and was verified as a genuine Dalí by Robert Descharnes. Les Oeillets aux Clefs fuses two common objects to create one Surrealist image. As with the Surrealist Lobster Telephone, Dalí has used living objects, the carnations, and combined them with an inanimate object, the keys. Like the telephone in Lobster Telephone, the inanimate objects are every day items, which would not normally attract much attention.
    Dalí has included keys as a minor detail in other works, such as in the Composition of the Leg, where the key is part of a pattern on a woman's leg. Heavily influenced by Freud's theories, Dalí saw the key as a phallic symbol; given that flowers are generally seen as female in gender, this painting can be seen as a sexual metaphor. Out of one golden key is growing this strange plant. The three stems from the flowers are attached to the golden key and have themselves become keys, their handles locking on to the bottom key as if it were their root.

    A little watercolor has been used at the top of Le Voyageur, giving the drawing an unfinished appearance. Dalí's sexual fears and erotic images filled his paintings; he once said that "everything born of my brush is erotic". Dalí described himself as "autoerotic"; he did not like to take part in the act of penetrative sex, although he enjoyed watching. During the Sixties he held erotic parties, which were basically orgies with the rooms filled with people having sex. Dalí also used to persuade his models to perform sexual acts for him to watch and sometimes draw.
    The central woman in Le Voyageur is masturbating, her hand blurred in movement. She looks toward another naked woman who lies next to her. Behind the women, a bald man is watching them. He has a drawer instead of eyes. The drawer is a Dalínian symbol for orifices, especially sexual ones. From between his open lips the man's tongue sticks out, drops of drool hang beneath it. Although his hands and arms are not seen, it seems that he is masturbating.
