Barring destruction, Orchids are immortal. They are considered the most highly evolved flowering plant on earth. Orchids have been around millions of years, and are "air plants" that cling to trees.
The fragrance of some orchids defies description, while others may resemble familiar fragrances - raspberry, coconut, lilacs and citrus. Hawaii is known as the Orchid Isle. These 20 plus year old backyard orchids were in beautiful bloom yesterday up Hamakua way.
