Orchids in novels
Granted, there are many mentions of orchids in print, TV, etc.
When I was a child during the '30s, there was a comic strip in the Sunday Chicago Tribune. The title was 'Brenda Starr' who was a newspaper reporter. Another character in the strip was a mysterious man (an admirerer?) who grew BLACK ORCHIDS. Anyone else remember that long ago (or care to admit it) ? I had to wait until I was almost 30 yrs before I got my first orchid, but so far I have NOT found that BLACK catt. Good growing, all. Chris |

The character was Ms Starr's lover, Basil St John. He needed the orchids to produce a serum for protection against some unspecified exotic disease. He wore an eye-patch, IIRC. J. Del Col |
