Have you guys seen that movie Adaptation or read the book The Orchid Thief? Well, there's a specific orchid focused on in the story called the GHOST ORCHID (polyradicion lindenii). It's seriously the sickest of all plants I've ever seen and it's really rare and endangered. It's impossible to cultivate but possible to grow. I would love to learn how to grow and care for one so I could see my own ghost orchid bloom. The reason it's called the ghost is cuz it seems to float in the air. It's amazing! I can't stop looking at pictures of it. It looks so beautiful and amazing. In the movie, Adaptation, this character John Laroche goes on about how it reminds him of a woman, but most orchids remind me of women. It's just plain amazing.
