LOL! I've owned exactly one orchid in my lifetime, and that was before I read that book. After I read it, I decided that I do not want to tempt any addiction to Orchids...but their evil, insidious wiles are always beckoning from the outer edges of my mind ;-)

They are actually very hardy, just more touchy as far as light and temperature requirements to get them to bloom. I am frugal (cheap) and most orchid’s flowers last for months, sometimes 5 months. Making them a pretty economical flowering plant for your house. I infected 2 good friends many years ago, one whose house has many and one who wound up building a heated greenhouse to keep all of hers. I’m bad.
