sha: purple orchid can be poisonous

Purple Orchid, originally uploaded by Accretion Point.

Tidak mengupdate blog sekian lame. Told my brother (just a brother) that I'm lost of words after eating too much of my favourite food, yakitori.

Yesterday I went out with friends after a long while. I feel alive again after such a long time cramping myself at a small, full of files and papers work desk. No complains though, cuz I love what I'm doing.

Has it occurs to any of u why I love orchids so much? Orchids are rare, I tell u. U might have the same colour and texture of roses but it is not easy to find 2 similar orchids. It's hard to take care of an orchid plant cuz it requires lots of attention too. And mind u, you won't need soil for orchids, u will be needing rocks:)

And what's so different about a purple orchid? Because it's purple. And there are several shades of purple orchids. It's hard to find purple roses but u can easily find a purple orchid:)

Though purple orchids are easy to find compared to purple roses, there are very few people who will take purple orchid home. Less people make it as decoration. And only the special ones will give it to their partners during Valentine's.

Few people view orchid as a beauty. Less people see it as a glory. Some thought it is poisonous too. Purple might be a yucky colour for some, and lack of petals is not beautiful. Sad to mention, orchids are not used to scent anything:)

So, purple orchids seldom rest in any man's arms. Cuz it has less romantic appeal. Purple orchids will be an addition to a bouquet of roses. Yet, it brings the glow. It has the strength as it stays long. And...a good choice for mothers on Mother's Day.

I have a suggestion for u: How about giving a purple orchid on Friendship Day? I bet the orchid will be blessed:)

Let's celebrate friendship. Forget the poison:)
