Well said, Dylan.
It just so happens that I had Steve's post well in mind as I was watching (via You Tube) an episode of Midsomer Murders called " Orchis fatalis". The story opens with two wild orchid poachers gloating as the collect "the only one" of a unique wild orchid. The writers invented an orchid for this story: Paphiopedilum rochebrunianum flavum (the flavum is the invented part). If you want to watch it, go to You tube and search on "Midsomer Murders S08E03". This episode is full of flowers (you'll have to ignore the blood) and a nice antidote to what most of us in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing now.
