Orchids are unique in that they are stunningly beautiful, delicate, long-blooming, long-living, intriguing in both their smell and their form, and exceedingly variable. There are few delights in gardening that can compare to the rush of watching orchids grow and blossom. Orchids are notoriously difficult to cultivate, even when kept as houseplants. This broad and diversified collection of plants contains many species that are simple to cultivate inside, despite the fact that some of them require a certain kind of potting mix and a measured amount of water in order to be successful. In gratitude for your diligent efforts, they will shower you with flowers that have the appearance of being from another world for many years to come.
