Orchid
Brief History
Orchids have captured the curiosity of generations since the time of
Theophratus (372-287 B.C.). He was a student of Aristotle's and thought
orchids had medicinal qualities. Orchids have been sought through the
years for their beauty and fragrance. They were the subject of watercolors
by the ancient Chinese and Japanese who prized their long graceful leaves
and wide variety of colorful blooms. Confucius (551-479 B.C.) wrote often
about orchids, comparing the scent of their blooms to the joys of friendship
One hundred and twenty million years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth,
a magnificent flowering plant came into being—the orchid. Evolution
led to the demise of many plants and animals, but the orchid flourished,
thriving on every continent save Antarctica. Orchids have adapted to live
in all kinds of environments—mountains, bogs, grasslands and rainforests.
At least 35,000 orchid species now populate the planet—and there
is always the possibility that unknown species still await discovery.
