-Orchids are beautiful,
exotic and romantic flower,
they have a long history.
What most people don’t
know is the interesting
historical background
of orchids relative to the “orchid
grower” and the labor to
create
the orchids we have
here today.
Record of the Royal
Horticultural Society in
London indicates the Vanilla
orchid was probably the
first orchid plant brought
to Europe in 1510. In 1635
when the Cypripedium reginae
was imported from North
America was the time when
orchids were first used
because of their decorative
appearance.
But even well into the 1900
century orchids were mainly
beautiful collectors items.
In 1804 the Berlin and Paris
Botanical Gardens together
held seven orchids only. At
Vienna in Austria they had
the most complete collection
of orchids, at that time,
for eleven unique species
and in England there were
three orchids plants growing.
These minimal amounts are
mainly because most of the
orchids died during
transport, the
environment conditions to
grow the plants were not
known exactly. Growing
orchids in a foreign
environment difficult
because of that. There were a
few people who tired to
change this. One was Jean
Linden, a explorer and
horticulturist who went
together Nicolas Funck
(1816-1896), and Auguste
Ghiesbreght (1810-1893) on a
expedition to Brazil. They
left Antwerp for Rio de
Janeiro on 25 September. In
the year from 1836 – 1837
they were collecting plants
and animals in Brazil.
Their task was also to
investigate the orchids'
native environment. |
|
Since many tried to make money by importing exotic orchids flowers and sell them for high prices in Europe. But most of them failed since most of the orchids died during transport.
|
In the early nineteenth century A.E. Salisbury, a British botanist was the first who described germination of orchids, orchids seeds and the developing of seedlings at around 1804. After this growing orchids in the greenhouse in Europe got momentum.
Orchids grower in Europe were waiting for that, from that time the problem in transporting orchids was not so important anymore and growing them was mostly under control.
In 1853 the first attempts were made to cross breeding orchids species, in 1856 the first orchid hybrid became available.
From that time orchids hybrids became big business. For some not very well understood reasons almost all of the orchids grower also tried unsuccessfully to grow a black orchid, all failed.
Today Thailand is the major exporter to the world for fresh hybrid orchids, actually exporting orchids this days always means hybrid orchids since the export of orchids species, this are the “wild orchids” is prohibited in most countries since they are declared a endangered species. |

Some of the orchids gardens within the botanical garden offer breathtaking views. Here you can see the jewels of the jungle en nature.
Different sized and colorful orchids bloom are highlight of every botanical garden in the far east.
Hybrid orchids placed in small wooden boxes and baskets some with charcoal inside where the the base of the orchids plants are usually anchored.
Other orchids plants are placed in bird's nests and taller orchids plants varieties grow as climbers fixed to some wood panels as support. |

Orchids do not necessarily need soil, as they can grow just by getting the necessary nutrition through the hanging roots from the air. Orchids live in trees and on trees, at mountains, grasslands, in rock granaries and forests.
Today there are probably over 30,000 orchids species living on different places all over the world, currently pink orchids are chic. If a orchid doesn't get what the plant needs, the orchid flower is able somehow to manipulate the environ around to create certain living conditions.

Ants have been a good living companion with orchids, the acidic material they purge from time to time is used within the plant. Orchids were on planet earth have before birds, bees and other animals and insects over time they have found ways to use various insects and other animals for propagation.
Even today from time to time new orchids species are found. In 2007, this happen in an very old tropical forest in Vietnam. The tropical forests of India forests also show some new orchids plants from time to time.
In Washington State, US, lives a other strange orchid flower, the Phantom Orchids. Having no leaves and a totally white color white color, the plant is ok for up to around seventeen years after blooming only once.
The main problem for orchids plants is deforestation and still sometimes poaching, |

-Orchids flowers are real good looking and usually have strong and saturated colors,
as almost every other flower they need some care. A orchid flower would be just the right add on to your home decoration.
When you try to find the right orchid flower for you, search a little longer, there are quite a lot of different orchids. The family of orchids plants is called orchidaceous, there are more than 25000 species of orchids. There are more than 100.000 different orchids hybrids which come usually from the lab and the nursery.
Today there is no need to think to much how to handle orchids in your house. Almost all orchids you can buy come from the lab as mentioned before and that also means if you do something wrong with your orchids plants there is no need to worry, just go to the flower shop and get another one. Sooner or later you will find the right balance for orchids care and orchids growing, its not that easy.
The other day I bought some seedlings at a orchids market at the Thai - Myanmar border, they've grown real nice in the coconut shell fixed to the palm tree in front of my house. After the monsoon came, the orchids went south, its not as easy.

Orchids usually grow in a tropical and subtropical environment, but there are also a very limited amount of orchid plants growing outside in a colder climate, like in the Alps. If you consider some basic arrangement in the house, you can raise most orchids inside your house.
Put the orchid pot on a warm place in your house and make sure to have enough humidity and some air flow around. To pop up the humidity in the room just put some other plants also in the same room and water them accordingly.
The more plants you have inside the house, the higher the humidity gets. Of course you should be careful since plants in general attract all kind of insects, fungi and other unpleasant surprises.
To avoid this buy your cattleya orchids from a good flower shop or nursery, don’t buy them just somewhere on the roadside since there nobody really takes care about the orchid plants, they should just sell quick that’s it.

You will likely enjoy the attractive blooming of your orchids for years to come. A orchid can live in a not so perfect place but the plant probably wont bloom there. So, if you have done all what should be done to get your orchids happy and the orchid flower still wont bloom it means there is something wrong. |
If the orchid flower looks healthy, the leaves are green, that means really green without spots and yellow or brown parts on it, plus looks fresh, but wont bloom. What to do? Put the orchids on a other place with more light, raise humidity and do a repotting, this usually works.

Cattleya Pink |
The name cattleya orchids came from William Cattley discovered by him in the early 19th century.
The first was given the name Cattleya Labiata. Since then many other types of cattleya were discovered and raised as hybrids, cattleya are probably the most popular orchids plants because they grow easy, have no smell and show a huge color rich flower at blooming, their large flowers are excellent for corsages.
Today the cattleya hybrids have a longer and more robust lifecycle and they are blooming more than once per year for 2-5 weeks.
Cattleya orchids must be easier to grow since most of us don't have a greenhouse and there is quite a demand for cattleya orchids. Probably the most orchids buy goes to cattleya and vanda, vanda orchids also have a beautiful relatively huge flower.
To put this together the outcome is, cattleya are probably the easiest to care for because the only need a easy to control amount of water, light and fertilizer. |

Most of
the wild
cattleya
species
grow in
rain
forests
of South
America,
preferably
in
Argentina,
Bolivia,
Paraguay
etc..
They
also
grow
grow in
the
Andes
from
altitudes
near sea
level up
to about
3000 m
height.
Actually
cattleya
orchids have
been
discovered
also in
the
Austrian
part of
the Alps.
Cattleya
orchids
are
epiphytes
or air
plants
and the
cattleya
white is
particular
pretty.
Being in
the
forest
and
different
altitudes
cattleya
adopt to
a wide
range of
temperatures
because
in the
winter
and
higher
altitudes
cattleya
orchids
plants
become
accustom
to temps
which
can go
as low
as 10
degrees
Celsius
in the
winter
and as
high as
about 30
degrees
in the
summer.

Humidity
is very
important
to
cattleya
orchids.
We can
understand
this
from
being in
rain
forests.
Most
cattleya
do well
with
being
set on
humidity
trays.
These
are
metal or
plastic
trays
that are
filled
with
pepples
and then
half
full
with
water.
The
plant
roots
cannot
be in
water
for a
long
period
of time
or else
they
will get
root
rot.
Allow
for good
air
circulation
but not
sitting
in
direct
aim of
an air
vent.
Generally,
watering
cattleya
orchids
twice a
week
does
well
during
their
growth
and
flowering
period
and once
a week
during
their
period
of rest.
Cattleya
are
orchids
that can
and
should
get dry
between
watering.
This
aids in
the
growth
of
healthy pseudopods.
Be sure
that the
potting
medium
allow
the
water to
drain
out
fairly
rapidly.
To check
to see
if a
cattleya
orchid
plant
needs
water
stick
your
finger
about 1
inch
into the
potting
material
and see
if it
comes
out dry
or damp.
If dry
it needs
watering.
If damp
it may
be able
to go
another
day or
two
without
water.
