Orchid Show 蘭花展 (26-Feb-2009)
« on: 27 February 2009, 02:09:24 »
A friend of mine is an avid orchid grower and collector. He has organized an orchid show with a few of his friends. I went there to take some pictures, and heard stories of crazy orchid speculations a few years ago.

達摩蘭

At the height of orchid craze, this 達摩蘭 can easily fetch tens of thousands of HK$. This Chinese orchid is appreciated for its leave patterns and formation.

The secret of growing orchid? The foam at the base is to prevent excessive water.
