Orchids are...
graceful
exotic
and delicate.
Orchids symbolize ...
luxury
strength
love
perfection
rare beauty
refinement
wisdom
magnificence
affection
virility
thoughtfulness
charm
and splendour.
From what I have read pertaining to the meaning and symbolism attached to orchids, the person who gives a gift of orchids is expressing not only his love, but also his respect for the girl of his dreams. His choice of orchids also speaks of his admiration and he is paying the recipient the highest form of compliment, I feel, when he buys her orchids. Orchids are also universally recognized as the perfect conveyor of the message of love and thoughtfulness.

Nature's Messenger of Love
give her your heart
express your sincere regard
orchids speak of love
cattleya's thoughtful charm
will bring her to your arms
to reciprocate your love
send her purple orchids galore
this says her rare beauty you adore
that's how you captivate your love
shower her with orchids exotic
bewitch her with its delicate mystique
then you'll be worthy of her love

sponge in the wonder

All are true about orchid. Those orchids are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing the beauties and really nice poem.
ReplyDeleteI used to love orchid corsages when I was in the dating and formal dance days. Sometimes I like growing the low-maintenance varieties, though I don't have any right now.
ReplyDeletenature's message of love, how divine.
ReplyDeletelove it.
Absolutely gorgeous, ma'am.
ReplyDeleteAnd absolutely nothing I can successfully make grow in this environment. *sigh* I'll feast on yours and enjoy.....they'll live forever this way. ;-)
so much beauty and the bearer of the vanilla bean!
ReplyDeletewhat's not to like?
so beautiful..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Rosie. I love your third photo.
ReplyDeleteRosie, are these orchids from a garden show? I like only the brown Vanda, although it will not satisfy criteria for best form. I am not particularly interested with Dendrobium and Catleya except the Dendrobium with long horns with unusual colors!
ReplyDeleteYou've shown some truly lovely Orchids today. I adore the simple white but also love the more intricate and colourful ones as well.
ReplyDeletePositively gorgeous photos. Orchids are such beautiful flowers and these photos make them more so.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Orchids are very hard to grow here and are diffcult to keep alive even as house plants.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful world indeed...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! My favourite is the second one.
ReplyDeleteLike the green one, especially...
