Orchids For Sale

No flower makes a statement quite like an orchid. A single bloom in a glass vase draws more attention than an entire bouquet of more common flowers. Historically, the orchid has had meaning for cultures around the world. It was a symbol of fertility to the ancient Greeks, and for the Chinese it denoted refinement. In fact, orchids today still stand for beauty and wisdom, and mature charm. It is easy to see why. The orchid is a stately flower that stands on its own.

The orchid belongs to a family of tropical flowers that are parasitic in nature. They grow on trees and are particularly fond of dead trees, as their seeds need fungus to germinate. They prefer warm, humid and shady environments similar to what their native rain forest provides. Two varieties are popular in floral arrangements, namely paphiopedilum and phalaenopsis. However, there are many more, from quite large to miniature in size.
