I never expected to see these beautiful flowers in an office building but I found them in the Reagan Building for all to enjoy their beauty. Photograph of these orchids was taken at the Reagan Building, Washington DC, USA.
*********
The orchid flower is easily discernable from other plant species in the wild by its very distinguishable and unique flower, which comes in many colours and sizes. In their natural state, orchids will achieve their growth while anchored to trees and shrubs. When cultivating these beautiful blooms in a garden bed, rocks and a rocky soil will gain you the best results. These Perennial herbs grow in two differing ways – the elegant monopodial orchids have a single bud, whereas the attractive sympodial orchids have multiple shoots that contain blooms on each shoot. Orchids make magical arrangements and bouquets; they have specific meanings in their colourations, making them ideal gifts and a beautiful surprise for your loved ones. These exotic and stunning flowers can convey a silent message, symbolizing a special moment between you and your recipient – whether strength, beauty or love. The Ancient Greeks held the orchids in an extremely high regard and had specific meaning for the size and shape of these stunning flowers. The large orchid tubers were believed to ensure the birth of a boy, while the smaller represented the birth of a girl.
White: White orchids signify innocence, elegance and beauty – ideal for a christening or the birth of a baby. White also signifies reverence and humility. - See more at: http://www.interflora.com.au/htw/flowers-colours-orchids/#sthash.l6NN3wx2.dpuf
