In Love With Orchids

Orchids represent: beauty, peace, strength, elegance, perfection.

Due to their symmetry, and the straight lines on their petals, orchids represent beauty in symmetry, and considered epitomes of rare beauty.

In ancient Japan, orchids were royal treasures and considered symbols of wealth.

People of ancient China thought orchids were the epitome of human perfection….. ‘Lan Hua.’

In Victorian England, these lovely flowers were likened to a beautiful woman.
