Why do you like orchids?

We all talk about how to grow them, watering, fertilisation, lighting, etc. But what about the spiritual aspect of growing orchids... Are they different from other plants?...

I am going to tell you my feelings, although English in not my native language....

Orchids are strange and beautiful plants. I don't know how many plants last for months?... They originaly grow and develop in special climate, but they somehow bloom in our house... Even if my Phalaenopsis makes a single flower, I am happy. They have only a few leaves, but the elegant spike, searchig for the light, makes a beautiful and interesting flowers, like no other... And sometimes, when an orchid is left without water for days sometimes, or in poor light, they found the strenght to bloom and to survive.

I am trying to take photos of every orchids I have and to catch their the unique features. For me orchids are not just plants... they are exotic live forms that give me joy in the both happy or unhappy days .
