In my opinion, orchids are undeniably the most feminine, elegant, and sophisticated of all the flowers. Equal parts strong and fragile, vibrant and vulnerable. It's my absolute favorite flower. No garden or life is complete without them. This post is a love-fest to the bewitching, joyful, powerful orchid.

Fun fact: When orchids die, it is the reverse process of when they bloom. It's absolutely fascinating to watch and a reminder of the beauty of the precious cycle of life.
