Orchids: The Symbol of Love, Luxury and Beauty

Orchids: The Symbol of Love, Luxury and Beauty | Flower Factor

PhalaenopsisTo the early Greeks, the orchid represented virility. To the Chinese, it was known as “the plant of the king’s fragrance.” The folks in the Middle Ages saw it as an aphrodisiac and love potion. To me, the orchid with its interesting history is a wonderful plant and cut flower, perfect to enjoy in my own home or for giving as a gift, bringing a smile to those who receive them.

Most people think orchids are fragile and hard to grow when, in fact potted orchids are easy to care for. Their availability makes them affordable, and the selection is huge.
