The Chinese have always been aficionados of flower cultivation and for centuries have regarded the Phalaenopsis, known more commonly as the Butterfly (Moth) Orchid, to be the ultimate expression of good taste. An elegant and regal flower, its delicate tiara-like crown earns the Butterfly Orchid the title Empress of Orchids.

Species

With exquisitely graceful blooms, orchids are known both for their breathtaking range of colors and varieties and for their longevity. Potted orchids can last for as long as four months and cut flowers remain fresh and vibrant for up to 40 days or more, making orchids perfect for bouquets and gifts.
