I've always been a daisy lady and remain devoted to my cheery, durable white carefree flower BUT today I realized I have underestimated the orchid.
I have thought of it as a corsage flower given to impress fancy girls at proms or grandmothers on Mother's Day. I've thought it to be a very fragile flower.
This morning I received pictures from a dear friend who raises them. I was blown away by the numerous varieties there are. Each looked more beautiful and captivating than the last. I realize I have been a reverse snob and unjustly categorized orchids as froo froo flowers.
Now I am eager to visit the greenhouse and see them in full bloom. These tropical beauties are amazing and I am intrigued to learn more.
Here is a sampling of the pictures I received.
