The Phalaenopsis
From a base of thick, glossy leaves, a stem extends like a calm yoga practice. Up there in height, huge flowers appear at the end of the branch. They are snow white, orange or purple to lilac and brown red. Sometimes they have speckles and dashes. Because of the flower shape, the Phalaenopsis is also called the butterfly orchid. The originally Greek name, Phalaina Opsis, means: "resembling butterflies". The flower symbolises pure friendship and is therefore a perfect gift.

Symbolism that makes you happy not only yourself, but also someone else.
Our pride, the Phalaenopsis.

The origin of the Phalaenopsis is in Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Australia. In nature, the orchid mainly grows on trees, without extracting nutrients from the them. You will also find this orchid in highly air-permeable soil, such as humus. And on rocks, usually near rivers and streams. A strong plant that has adapted to difficult conditions. The beautiful colourful flower attracts insects for pollination and produces offspring through seed.
