My name is Roberta Smothers and I started this website as a resource for
others who wish to explore orchids as a hobby and get the most out of caring for these amazing flowering
plants. I found a successful method for Orchid Growing, and I want to pass this valuable information
on to others. There is much to understand if you want to Grow Orchids in a well planned
out way. It is much more than just planting flowers. In the following pages you find out what makes these beautiful
flowering plants so unique and special.
Orchids have quickly become one of the most popular flowering plants in homes
all around the world. Growing Orchids is extremely interesting for
people because there are about 25,000 species within 880 genera
(types) and all of which are perennial. More classifications and hybrids are being added to the long
list all the time. They are the second largest flowering plant family in the world second only to the
Asteraceae family (Daisies and Sunflowers).
Orchids are the most popular flower of choice in the making of the Hawaiian Leis, which are the
decorative wreath of flowers which are graciously presented to visitors when arriving or leaving, as a sign of
peace and good will. Wearing the flowers, allows the visitor to have a constant reminder and fragrance of
the beauty of the islands.
Orchids are also a favorite flower for weddings. There is a huge market that caters exclusively
to providing Orchid arrangements for wedding celebrations and receptions.
Orchids can flourish in almost any climate and region apart from the most harsh with the proper
care and preparation. But they are indigenous and most commonly found in Asia, Africa, and South and Central
America. Their diverse designs and fragrances have enticed people down through the ages, and it is no wonder that
they have spread throughout the world.
The various Orchid species all have different factors which make them unique. In addition, they
are easy to grow. But growing the various species makes it necessary to become informed about their peculiarities
so that you can best know how to use them in your home or garden.
Orchids; a Microcosm of Individuality
- Some species only bloom once a year for 2 or 3 months, while others bloom a few times per year, and yet
others bloom year round.
-
The colors of orchid species can vary from violet, to white, yellow, red, or orange.
Ahh... The Sweet Aroma Of Nature's Perfume
 One of the things that make Orchids so special, aside from their obvious
beauty, is their fragrant aroma. They have been used for centuries to make perfume, and as recently as this
year, a new fragrance was created by breeding two different species. Many even have chocolate, raspberry,
lilac, and citrus-like aromas. In fact, the Vanilla plant is a genus of the Orchid family. One of the fine
points of Growing Orchids, is combining the appropriate species to create the desired aroma. An entire room or
garden can be made to emanate its own unique fragrance.
It is interesting to train your senses to associate a particular scent with the appearance of a
certain flower. Something wonderful happens when the mind is able to make that connection between the eyes and one
of the other 5 senses. After a while, your memory will cause your mind to vividly experience a scent just by
visualizing an Orchid species. Likewise, your minds eye will visualize a beautiful species just by smelling the
fragrance wafting through the wind.
