An Orchid by Any Other Name Is a Marquee
Orchids have drawn the eye of The New York Times Fashion & Style section. The Times laments that becoming a “grocery staple” has dulled the mystique of once-exotic orchids. While Phals have become common, however, tens of thousands of other varieties continue to inspire. From elusive black orchid flowers to custom hybrids, orchids still spawn new markets. For example, anyone can attach their name to a new Cattleya cultivar for $1500, offering the chance for their very own floral marquee. When it comes to being trendy, orchids have just gotten started.

Imagine, $1500 to put your name on a plant! I think I can only ever afford to put my name on a weed.

This web blog publish shows you know the subject well. I can never tell if my orchids need water that is why I can’t keep them alive. I don’t think I would pay so much for one! Thanks I try to read the NYTimes but I must have missed this article.
