    Orchids are thought to have first appeared at least 80 million years ago and played a determining role in generating an ecosystem capable of helping biological life spread in the globe. Its beauty is orchestrated to seduce foremost insects and ultimately man. Orchids have come to symbolize grace, and were universally recognized as the most beautiful and precious of all flowers.
