Me too seeing many orchids for the first time in life recently…. Orchids always amaze me by their complexity. Can you imagine, how flowers are oriented in the bud condition and then they unveil and take a particular shape…. no one except god and create such things and explain how they organised the cells to orient themselves to take such a shape….
