Orchids are associated with fertility, virility, and sexuality. These associations, coupled with their exotic appearance, have given them a long history of being associated with love, fertility, and elegance throughout various cultures and times.
The Boat Orchid symbolizes love, beauty, and refinement

I didn’t know that about orchids, Rob. The image is gorgeous. I guess it is a sexy flower at that. 😉 Hugs!

Haha! Crystal and I have been watching YouTube videos of artists with acrylics, at night when I’m trying to get sleepy. Crystal likes Donna Dewberry’s (“One stroke” method) flower of the month. (No orchids though.) I think because the camera shows the brush really well in that particular series. If Crystal had opposable thumbs, she’d be a great artist by now. 🐱

That sounds like fun, Teagan. I can see Crystal pawing at her canvas. I started looking for a Kitten yesterday. I’m scanning the local rescue shelters. Now is a good time to find kittens. When get her I’ll post a picture. I’m thinking of names: Grandmother – Spiderwoman might be cute. 🙂

They’ve proven that cats like “K” and “T” sounds (as in kitty cat) so you might keep that in mind for names. For example, Crystal has both.

They require a lot of care. You must have the greenest of thumbs.
