Description
Vibrant potted red and white striped Phalaenopsis orchid in terra cotta pot.
I am an orchid aficionado and currently maintain two dozen of the blooming plants. This year marked a small victory for me when I achieved a 70% bloom rate from my notoriously stingy charges. I find the colors, shapes and patterns of my different orchids fascinating and rather awe inspiring. Historically, the symmetry of the flowers to its stems and leaves has led to the orchid being a symbol of beautiful perfection.
Orchids form one of the largest and oldest plant families in the plant kingdom with over 25,000 species accounted for worldwide. Scientists have dated orchids from as early as the Jurassic period, roughly 195–136 million years ago.
