Orchids: A Quick Introduction

We have a great choice of plants these days, all ready to lend us service as house decorations as well as to lend our homes and offices an air of green, healthy life. Further, we never tire of having them around us--we in fact seek more of them and want to add new ones to our surroundings.

Flowers, in particular -- cut or potted or growing in the garden -- have great appeal to human beings. Many people are especially smitten with that most regal flower, the orchid.

Orchids have been called "conquerers of the light.". They amaze us when we first encounter them, and they continue thereafter to draw us to them in admiration. Nature has been abundantly kind to the orchids. Their flowers are bright and showy, yet at the same time elegant and even refined. The smell is sweet but not cloying. Certainly, orchids are thin in texture, but they are not nearly as frail as this leads many to believe. From a flower connoisseur's viewpoint, about the only thing they lack is abundant foliage. But this is not a serious deficiency: one can always fill the space around them with fern leaves for an attractive arrangement.

For a long time, people assumed taht these wonderful flowers were too delicate to grow with ease. This was mistaken. Would it surprise you to know that orchids are relatively easy to grow? And that many weekend gardeners easily tend to some of the most beautiful specimens have seen. The key lies in finding complete and accurate information on growing orchids before beginning. To assure success, you must educate yourself first; skip this preparation and you may be dooming yourself to failure.

It is a common myth--yet a myth nonetheless--that orchids require high heat to thrive. Not true, it turns out! Yes, orchids developed in the earth's tropic regions. But many species, in their native lands, actually grow high up on cool mountainsides. It would be a mistake to subject these coolness-hardy plants to high temperatures -- if the heat didn't kill them, it would at least stunt their development.

Whatever your present skills as a gardener, you can grow these loveliest of flowers. Imagine springing a gift of an orchid--one you grew yourself!--on a friend or family member. Envision winning prizes for breathtaking orchids that you cultivated yourself. Picture yourself going so far with your orchid growing hobby that it becomes a business, perhaps one big enough to provide you with a living. All of these things are possible to you as an orchid enthusiast.

One of the best and most complete guides to modern orchid growing is undoubtedly Orchid Care Expert by Nigel Howard, available online. Howard's guide is really a complete course, and will teach something to experienced growers as well as complete neophytes. You might also want to visit the Orchid Secrets web site, which has a growing database of articles on all aspects of orchids.

A toast to your adventure with orchids!
