White Orchids

Orchids are used for their ornamental value, medicinal properties, for perfume preparation, as fodder and even as food for humans.  For medicinal purposes, orchids are even used today in traditional Chinese medicine.  Use of dried orchids ranges from cancer treatment to eye-sight improvement.  

Orchids are also sold as edible decorations for food.  Orchid canes are stir fried in many Asian countries, also being used for making sauces in Japan and Singapore, flowers are pickled in Nepal.

Love comes to those who still hope even though the have been disappointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, to those who still love even though they have been hurt before.  Happy Easter!
