Introducing The Aristocratic Orchid
There is a tremendous variety of plants available these days to ornamen our houses and to touch our rooms and offices with green freshness. Furthermore, we never grow tired of them, no matter how familiar they become to us; indeed, we tend to seek out more of them, and to want to add new varieties to our living and work spaces.
Flowers, in particular -- cut or potted or growing in the garden -- have great appeal to human beings. Many of us are particularly attracted to that most regal of flowers, the orchid.
Orchids are called "conquerers of the light" by some. They amaze us when we first encounter them, and they continue thereafter to draw us to them in admiration. Nature has been extra kind to the orchids. Their flowers seem to brighten a room as almost no others can. Orchids smell sweet, but they don't cloy with their odor as so many flowers do. Certainly, orchids are thin in texture, but they are not nearly as frail as this leads many to believe. From a flower aficiando's point of view, the only thing keeping them from perfection is their lack of much foliage. But this is not a serious deficiency: one can always fill the space around them with fern leaves for an attractive arrangement.
For a long time, people assumed taht these wonderful flowers were too delicate to grow with ease. This was an error. The fact is, orchids are not as hard to cultivate as many think, and many amateur orchid growers do very well it. The key lies in finding complete and accurate information on growing orchids before beginning. By getting educated on the subject, you can assure yourself of success.
One prevalent myth about orchids is that in order to thrive, they must have high heat. Not true, it turns out! Yes, it's true that orchids are a "tropical" plant, if you mean by that they originate between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. However, quite many of them, in their homelands, group high up the mountainsides, where it is crisp and cool. Subjecting such plants to high temperatures would retard their development--if it didn't kill them.
It doesn't matter how much of a green thumb you think you have (nor not!), the truth is you can grow these beautiful flowers. Imagine the joy and pleasure of surprising someone with an orchid that you grew yourself. Envision yourself cultivating orchids so breathtaking they win prizes. Picture yourself going so far with your orchid growing hobby that it becomes a business, perhaps one big enough to provide you with a living. All of these things are possible to you as an orchid enthusiast.
One of the best and most complete guides to modern orchid growing is undoubtedly Orchid Care Expert by Nigel Howard, available online. Now, there's tons of information out there about orchids. But Howard's is the most complete all-in-one reference that I've ever seen. You might also want to visit the Orchid Secrets web site, which has a growing database of articles on all aspects of orchids.
Here's to many years of orchid enjoyment!
