The Story and Legend of the Phalaenopsis Orchid

A very, very long time ago, in a great mountain of unmatched beauty, there was a quiet and secluded valley, and in the empty valley lay a serene pool of green water. One day, a lonely butterfly was drawn by the mountain's elegant beauty and, without realizing it, came to this empty valley. It was at once enchanted by that peerless tenderness, that timeless charm, and by the lonely serenity of the green water and the sense of isolation from the world. “At last I have found what my dreams rest upon,” the butterfly said in its heart, “this place I have sought for a thousand years——the empty valley.”

On a night spangled with stars, when a beautiful meteor streaked across the sky, the butterfly made the only wish of its life: when the golden wind first rises and the white dew first falls, at the moment the butterfly turns to dust, it hoped that a thousand years of adoration could become seeds of life and be scattered throughout the empty valley. The meteor traced a graceful arc and returned to the void. When the mountain flowers bloomed in profusion the following year, a valley of purple orchids truly sprouted in the empty valley--the Phalaenopsis orchid!
