Conclusion
Did Genghis Khan ride through fields of
orchids?
Quite possibly! Oriental peoples have known and loved
orchids for thousands of years.
Did the Minotaur feast on wild orchids?
Who knows? Years ago I looked down and found myself
standing on a tiny native orchid plant, probably a
variety of Orchis, on the terraces of the Palace of King
Minos in Crete. Sorry to say, I don’t think it survived.
Did Izaak Walton cast his line for trout
from a field of wild orchids?
Could be! There are dozens of wild native orchids that
grow near streams and bogs in England where he might
well have been.
One day in the Wind River Wilderness in Wyoming I was on
a little spit of land trying to outsmart a fish. I
looked down and realized I was standing among perhaps
ten thousand beautiful but tiny, perfect white orchid
plants, twenty or so flowers on thousands of foot long
stems.
WARNING!
Orchid growing is a delightfully infectious affair.
Owning one plant may well lead to the wish for more. The
first thing you know that first “one plant” is ready to
become two, and then two become four!
You are about to learn when and how to divide a plant
yourself. You may wish to keep the divisions for
yourself, or give them as gifts (along with a copy of
"Caring for Your First Orchids") or trade them with
other orchid lovers.
Get a thrill beyond belief when your orchid blooms again
the next year. Light dawns; you don't have to explain to
your spouse why an orchid plant died---there it is
blooming again in all its glory.
Think of the $$$ you save when you realize you do not
need to buy a new blooming plant to have flowers every
year. You are now an expert
You puff up with pride showing off the miracle to your
friends. You will be asked many questions to which you
can easily reply because you learned answers to hundreds
of them in my book.
Each morning begin your day communing with a lovely
undemanding orchid. It will bring a smile to your face
and warmth to your heart.
I will never forget the day
some 30 years ago when as a surgeon I lost a patient, a
young veteran, because his blood had been incorrectly
cross-matched by the laboratory. My life seemed
devastated. My wife, Nancy, led me by the hand to the
greenhouse, praying silently that my orchids would bring
me some comfort.
Some two hours later I felt I could begin to face the
tragedy and breathe again. I truly believe my orchids
saved my sanity on that occasion. I am forever grateful.
Begin a hobby today that will bring you
pleasure and comfort all your life!
