In this book, Dan Torre explores the intriguing and multifaceted
natural, cultural and social history of the orchid. Orchids are one
of the largest families of plants - approximately 8 per cent of all
the Earth's flowering species. They are known for their beautiful
flowers with bright colours, delicate forms and delicate
fragrances. However, when we look deeper into their world, we find
that they are much more than an elegant flowering plant and behave
in unexpected ways that no other flowers do. Philosophers have
contemplated them; countless artists have celebrated them; millions
of people have cultivated them, displayed them and even consumed
them. Orchids occupy our thoughts, our stories, our societies, our
greenhouses, our florists, our supermarkets and our homes. And that
is merely the beginning.
