1. How did this love of Orchids arise?As a kid, I used to admire the Baby Jesus Orchids high up on some trees and they looked like flowers fallen from heaven to me... I didnt know they were Orchids then - people called them Baby Jesus flowers and wouldnt pluck them, and being a kid, there was no way for me to see them closer or get them in my hand other than to look up and admire for as long as I could! Later as a teen, I came across garden Orchids in my relatives' gardens and became so fond of them... I wanted to find out whether there were more varieties and colours... My first mindblowing encounter was during my first visit to Singapore - Whoa!!! I was in a dream world, in paradise!!! I was sad that I couldnt carry fresh flowers on an international flight!! 😭 😃D. Gauri - she looks (her words) so natural yet there is a lot more within - keeps you thinking and then she will become even more a beautiful person to know...Summerji, I have only matched female members mainly, as for me, Orchid is so feminine in terms of charm, beauty and mystique!!! 😉 😳 😃
