Charles Darwin quote on orchids?

[s3attlite]

Hello fellow orchid lovers!

I recall hearing David Attenborough in the documentary Kingdom of Plants mention how fascinated Darwin was with orchids. He quotes him in saying something along the lines of... nothing has intrigued me more in the world than orchids. I think the quote mentioned all the different forms they take. Does anyone know the actual passage and where it comes from? My copy of On the Orgin... has a big fat beautiful cattleya on the cover, but I can't say that's helped me get through it..

I did a quick Google search and came up with this. I googled 'Darwin's thoughts on orchids' there was quite a bit that came up but this was short and sweet and hopefully answers your question lol. Took a screenshot and provided the link!
