Wedding Flowers Orchids

They say flowers are delicate therefore their beauty and delicacy are so many times related to that of women. Women have always felt comfortable in the presence of flowers and it seems that the feeling is likewise, since women while watering or growing flowers communicate with the flowers in the way that a flower is growing faster and stronger the moment you pay this consideration to it. This is indeed a strange thing, I have actually watched my mother taking care of her flowers from the tiny balcony and saw how a flower that she got it sick from a friend of hers recovered after this kind of ‘talking to’ therapy. Maybe flowers are so responsive to a woman’s touch, either verbally or physically because women have in them the power of growing the seeds exactly like the power a seed has, to grow and turn itself into a flower or a plant.

Talking about delicacy, nature offers to us a wide variety of delicate flowers, but the one which is most popular and coveted is the orchid. For botanists discovering orchids was and still is a challenge as there are species of orchid that still need to be discovered due to the particular weather condition of their growth. Since ancient times orchid was ascribed meanings, such as virility, for instance in ancient Greece where the gender of an unborn child depended on what form of orchid tubers father or mother ate. The Victorian times ascribed orchid the symbol of luxury for today the orchid to maintain the same magnificence being considered a rare and delicate beauty of the nature.

The different colors of orchid convey also different meanings to the one who receives these exotic flowers, but the most intriguing symbol conferred to the orchid is strength; it is intriguing since everybody knows that orchid is never a strong flower. This symbol comes from the Greek’s ancient belief about reproduction. Another meaning is the one related to orchid’s perfection and intricacy. Being cultivated under special condition, the orchid can become of a beauty that one rarely could meet to pertain to another flower.
