"The leaves were blackish green and the flower itself was glossy yellow, the yellow of a newly waxed taxi, and it was spattered with hundreds and hundreds of burgundy flecks. The flecks were slightly ovoid, and they were clustered in curving rows so they looked as if they had been painted on as the flower spun around. Staring at the pattern of the flecks was dizzying. Staring at it for a long time was hypnotizing." - Susan Orlean, The Orchid Thief
And that is the thing about orchids: We find them hypnotizing...and elegant, and playful. Our favorites are what we have affectionately labeled "Rorschach's Orchids." Open the collection to see why...
