Summary: Captivating in their beauty and fascinating in their complexity, orchids are easily the most colorful and intricate of all flowering plants. In the early nineteenth century when the plants were first discovered by British horticulturists, people became so taken with orchids that they reached a state popularly described as an orchidelirium, an ecstatic near-madness, an obsession in the truest sense of the word. At that time orchids were thought by some to have a mysteriosuly seductive animal essence; others simply attributed the flowers appeal to their sublime beauty.
