Challenge for the Group
What is a wonder to me about orchids is how they ended up being
the way they are. To me that means the ones that try to look like "bugs in heat", the ones that smell like rotting meat, the ones that trap bugs or that make it arduous for them to get out and get glued with pollen in the meantime, the one that Darwin figured had to have a moth with a 12" tongue to pollinate it.......all those things make orchids "wonderful" to me. So, as far as suggestions for how to set up the display I would try to find pictures of the bugs the orchids are trying to mimic or whatever else they are trying to use to get a pollinator's attention. I would also think that "extremes" would be a good "wonder" element. For that I can think of the longifolium with their long sepals (it is sepals, isn't it?) or orchids with particularly intense colour or intense fragrance or huge flowers or itsy bitsy ones or super numerous ones or the super "hairy" ones (or the ones that look particularly "naughty").....or ones that have intriguing stories about them for one reason or another. Also perhaps ones that were featured in recent book releases. Does that help at all? - Sandy "Diana Kulaga" wrote in message ... Okay, all you creative people, see what you think. Our local society's show and sale is next weekend. I'm doing a tabletop display. The theme of the show is "The Wonder of Orchids". What would be a good tie-in to that theme? I'm usually fairly ingenious, but I'm stuck on white rabbits, a queen of hearts, tarts, and a looking glass. ;oD Any ideas? Diana |
