Yep, i've noted orchids a few times in movies. I'm trying to think of the name of a very old black and white classic movie I saw years ago that starts with an old man in a wheelchair sitting in his 'hothouse' surrounded by blooming cattleyas. (wow) It's an old 'gangster movie' and has car chase etc. in it Name escapes me.
More recently, netflix has a series called 'Little Women' running. It has nothing to do with Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" which you may have had to read in High school. It's a Korean produced series. The "Blue Ghost" orchid plays a semi-prominent role in this suspence drama. The Blue Ghost is not even a dyed phal. It's an artificial, contrived plant/bloom that is bright indigo blue, and is grown in multiples secretly hanging on a 'tree.' If you receive one, you are a goner. There are other real orchids at times in the series. Also, there is a scene in which there is an orchid auction and a scene which takes place a the International Orchid Society meeting.
