Orchids are beautiful plants.
My Grandfather had two green houses full of Orchids as a retirement hobby. They were a thing to behold when in flower. As a budding gardener at the age of about 8 or 9, I took it upon myself to rearrange the name tags on a selection of potted specimens on display in front of their bird aviary. I remember at the time my Grandmother doing her best to calm him down, at that age I had no idea what I had just done.
I tell that story with an element of humor but I still feel bad about it after all these years.
One of my favorites that Pa grew were these Slipper Orchids.
