Chang Choi, owner of Choi’s Orchids, a lush 5,000 square foot wholesale plant nursery and plant décor supplier says he sells a wide variety of potted indoor and outdoor plants including the more exotic species of bromeliads and anthuriums, but, his best sellers are orchids. “Phalaenopsis (pronounced: Fayl-eh-NOP-sis) also known as moth orchids are the most popular orchid we sell. They are hardy and easy to care for,” Choi says.
Herminio Medina, owner of Mercado’s Fresh Flowers at Alvarado and Beverly Streets says he’s a regular wholesale patron of Choi Orchids because “They’re helpful, friendly and have the best quality, products and supplies at great prices.”
In the 1800’s orchids were available only to the very wealthy or royalty. At that time an orchid obsession that has lasted for centuries was the born. “The craze, dubbed "orchidelerium," produced prices in the thousands of dollars. Special hunters were employed to track down exotic varieties in the wild and bring them to collectors, keen to display them in ornate, private greenhouses,” according to Tom Mirenda, an orchid specialist at the Smithsonian. “Orchids have a special appeal to the human psyche. People are fond of orchids because when someone looks at an orchid, it looks back at you. They seem to have a face like a human,” Mirenda says.
The meaning and symbolism of the delicate, elegant and graceful orchid has evolved to represents love, luxury, refined beauty and charm. There are 25,000 species of orchids. Some research even dates some species of orchid to around 120 million years ago, before the continents split into their current form.
