{{{Welcome}}}Hi, I hardly read this thing and I keep adding to it.
I'am a artistI am an orchid-inspired artist. My passion for
orchids blossomed when I was seventeen and evolved
into an addiction ,I have no desire to cure. These wonderful
flowers never cease to inspire me and capture my
imagination. I gave in to their lure and magic. This is the
story of my love affair with: phalaenopsis, cymbidium,
cattleya, paphiopedilum, odontoglossum... the old
surnames roll off the tongue easily. Eventually. Once
you've taken the vows. It is an order, almost. A secret,
mysterious sect. T H E S E C T O F T H E O R C H I D
For millions of years, the orchid family has been expanding. It
thrived, defying evolution, the savage elements, and the exploitation
of its greatest enemy -- Man. For thousands of years, this succulent
flowering plant has been captured and cultivated by him, stolen and loved for its beauty, its fragrance, its
nobility, its feminine elegance, its striking classic beauty. These are the royalty of the flower world. Each
individual flower within a species may produce virginal blooms dissimilar to the parent, making them unique.
This variability in appearance appears both in nature and in cultivated plants. Hybridizers take advantage of
this gift when breeding them, producing new colors, form and traits. { P H E R O M O N E S }
I enjoy examinening the newest flowers
and to meet with orchid aficionados to keep me current on new species and scientific breakthroughs. The S.B.
convention is held once a year at the Earl Warren show grounds. This is where anyone can really enjoy the
orchids and see them displayed in beautiful, elaborate settings and speak with the growers. The air is
electric. It sends of off fragrance and pheromones that intoxicate the senses. Pretty sexy stuff. You can
leave with this high and it can last for days, especially if you bring one home with you. I smelled
an orchid that bloomed with the scent of Bijon perfume. Renowned specialist Gorge Vasquez of Zuma
Canyon Orchids, second generation growers in Malibu, was enthusiastic with me about the prospect of
these designer orchids. He believes along with me that the future of customization of the blooms' size,
color and fragrance is boundless with new ideas. I was also fortunate enough to meet the international
educator Andy Easton, whose zealousness really sparked my interest in learning more about these
from a technical standpoint. He is up on what's popular with the
public and what new flowers have potential to be in fashion.
Attending these conventions and orchid society meetings keeps me inspired. Keeps my love fresh and exciting. As well
as passionate friends that have encouraged me along the way. The friends I have made are just as wonderful as the
flowers themselves. Their passion has rubbed off on me, and they are very passionate flowers! The blossoms themselves, using color patterns, delicate, sensual shapes, and beautiful scents, has adapted to mimic the
look and smell of the insect it needs to attract in order to propagate. An invitation for pollination. When the invitation is
accepted, the proboscis, a tubular feeding and sucking organ of insects like moths and butterflies, is inserted into the
flower's spur where the nectar gathers in a pool. The nectar is the reward for the insect and the insect's cargo of
pollen, carried away to opposite sex plants, is the reward of the species. One orchid even has an 11-inch spur and it
took 50 years to find it but a moth with an 11-inch proboscis is
its pollinator.
The interior lives of these secretive, lusty
creatures is fascinating. I have good things
going on inside of me, too, and there is so
much more to come.
Orchid memorabilia or collectibles areOrchid memorabilia or collectibles are almost as popular
as the flowers themselves, but unlike green plants, my
tiny bonsai orchids require no care or feeding, just love.
My love for orchids inspired me to create an artifact – one
to keep, treasure and hand down through generations. It
has taken four years to perfect the casting process, but at
last I can present to you a line of exquisite jewelry that
literally captures the beauty of the orchid bloom; a real
bonsai Phalaenopsis orchid cast in 14k yellow, pink or
white gold. A piece to save forever, heirloom quality,
completely unique.
L'Orchidée... Apprécié pour sa beauté, sa fragrance, sa noblesse, son élégance de femme, sa beauté classique frappante. La famille d'orchidée est la redevance du monde de fleurs. Chaque fleur individuelle dans une espèce peut produire des éclats innocents différents au parent, en les faisant unique. Cette variabilité apparaît en apparence tant dans la nature qu'aux usines cultivées. Hybridizers profitent de ce cadeau en les produisant, en produisant de nouvelles couleurs, une forme et des traits. Aux mains d'ingénieurs génétiques et de hybridizers exubérant, le monde apprécie des centaines de nouvelles fleurs en moyenne par an.Ma passion pour les orchidées a fleuri quand j'avais dix-sept ans et ai évolué dans un penchant je n'ai aucun désir de guérir. Ces magnifiques fleurs ne cessent jamais de m'inspirer et capturer mon imagination. J'ai cédé à leur attrait et magie, en prenant le Monstre d'Orchidée de nom.Il a pris quatre ans à parfait le processus de fonte, mais finalement je vous présente une ligne de juif exquisCiao
