Orchid Plants - When was the first time you saw one?

My master once said in very profound words - like attracts like at the level of thought. In other words, if you think beautiful thoughts, you will see and experience beautiful things. It's like having a positive attitude. As far as I can remember, I have tried to keep a positive outlook so maybe that's why I am always surrounded by orchid plants. I catch myself staring into an orchid flower mesmerized by it's beauty. I am so grateful to be able to see these beautiful blooming plants that someone higher above put here for us humans to enjoy. So, I can tell you the day I first saw an orchid. It was 1989 at G&B Orchids.
