The Orchid, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.
Of all the flowers fairest
One there is the darest
With colors boldly shining
Moves my hearts inclining
To wonder and admire
Thy beauty, to all aspire
May you forever reign supreme
Orchid, flower of high esteem.

For a brief period about 20 years ago I’ve cultivated a few orchids inspired by watching Nero Wolfe. After visiting the Hannover Berggarten the other day and spending some time in the orchid greenhouse I am inclined to get back into it. The orchid remains my favorite flower, in all its great varieties.
