Psychology question: why are orchids addictive?!

[Gage]

Alright everyone, let's put on our psychology hats and get to the bottom of this. Because, let's face it, orchids have somehow hacked the human brain and put some kind of spell over us all. I do think it's hilarious how we are all so addicted, obsessive at times. But seriously, this is a phenomenon of sorts, right? Do gardeners get obsessive over varieties of petunias? Have to have every color that's out there? I'm not so sure. On the other hand, I tend to have a rather obsessive personality when it comes to my hobbies over the years. So maybe orchids lure in obsessive personalities? But I know I've read plenty of posts by newbies that seem to get blindsided at how quickly they have become hooked. That's all I got.

Ok, so let's solve this mystery! Share what you think the reasons are for orchids being such an addictive pastime.
