Orchids are my all time favourite flower!
Moth orchids. The most common type of orchid is probably the moth orchid, or the Phalaenopsis orchids. These are the plants that you can buy from a standard grocery store. Or if you happen to live close by an Asian supermarket, you will find truck-loads. I usually wait until they are on sale.
In the wild, these orchids are epiphytes and grow on trees in a constantly moist environment. ( I saw this in Brazil) They usually have long flower spikes and therefore look very graceful. These types of flowers have the power to add elegance to the home and brighten up a dull atmosphere. Even though they usually bloom only once or twice a year, their flowers can often last for two to three months.
A good choice for me. It reminds me of both China and Brazil and lasts much longer than cut flowers.
Wishing you a beautiful day.
