The ornamental value of orchids

Orchid leaves stay fresh green all year round, combining strength and softness with graceful posture; even when not in bloom, they are like a living work of art. "Dew-like tears scatter the light in disarray, shadows slant of their own accord in the wind; how could ordinary folk compare, watching leaves surpasses watching flowers." This poem describes the elegant, graceful beauty of orchid leaves.

Place a few pots of orchids to accent a room, and you will suddenly feel full of life; on the day they bloom, wave after wave of delicate fragrance will make you feel vibrant and completely refreshed.
