he main question you need to ask yourself, to see if you will be a good grower, is another: what feeling do I have with orchids?

The orchid is a unique flower in its eccentric perfection, it does not know the banality. It does not grow in an impersonal environment, it is elegant in all its aspects, aristocratic in its needs. It blooms only if it finds the right conditions around it.

In the East the perfection of the orchid is a symbol of purity. In the West the orchid is related to love and sensuality, therefore it becomes the symbol of passionate love. In its almost black-flowered varieties the orchid is also associated with the dark mystery and witchcraft.

People who are attracted to orchids are sensual and innocent, simple and sophisticated. They love luxury. The roots of the orchid can feed on air by filtering nourishment from nothing, they are intricate but light. Who loves the orchid is very selective in his choices, he accepts to let only a small circle of people enter his life.

- Do I have an independent temperament?

- Do I have my own class and my original elegance?

- Am I capable of innocence and passion, dedication and betrayal?

- I only ask for the best from my life and the people I surround myself with?
