Orchid Fever

Orchids have the distinction of being so beautiful that they have been known to induce a psychosis-like disease known as Orchidelirium in susceptible flora enthusiasts. From the Victorian era to the present day, people have been willing to lie, cheat and kill to get their hands on this most seductive of flowers. The rare varieties often have their own personal armed guards in the hope of deterring Orchidesperados as I like to call them.

Inexplicable? Only if you are not afflicted. The annual global sales of orchids is now estimated to be an incredible £8 billion. These beautiful yet delicate flowers possess an allure all their own. even the sanest amongst could be forgiven for occasionally having our heads turned.
