orchids in literature
I'm thinking of putting together a seminar on orchids for our learning
and retirement group and thought that a session on orchids in literature (or song or the movies) would be neat. However, the only ones that come to mind are Brenda Starr and the black orchid and then Nero Wolfe. Google was not any help to me. Do any of you know of any other instances in which orchids play a role in a book or song or movie? Janet |

michelle wan's novels:
deadly slipper the orchid shroud a twist of orchids (out in may) and of course the orchid thief and.... and...., you know, mary motes's book. orchid thief was turned into the movie 'adaptation.' (--which ended up having very little to do with the book; i suspect alcohol was involved.) --j_a |

Nero Wolfe was an avid orchidist.

They are in the backgrounds of just about every Star Trek Next Generation
episode that features someone's apartment onboard ship. Or elsewhere for that matter. K Barrett "janet" wrote in message ...

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for--not books
about orchids, but books or movies about something else in which orchids play some kind of role. Also found a Nancy Drew mystery about orchids.

yes, the running theme in the wan novels is an unknown cyp that one
of the protagonists is always madly looking for; it plays a substantial part in the plot of each book. i like 'em. the motes book is more a tongue in cheek look at the industry in south FL, and the orchid thief is pretty much about dendrophylax lindenii; i think it's considered non fiction though. but also a good book. --j_a On Apr 17, 9:47*am, janet wrote: Thanks. *This is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for--not books about orchids, but books or movies about something else in which orchids play some kind of role. *Also found a Nancy Drew mystery about orchids.
