- RCfilDS! There IS romance and all
the glamour of tropical adventure
in the mere word. Truly called the
~ "aristocrats of the Jungle" these
fantastically shaped flowers that grow on the
trunks and branches Of living trees. and es-
pecially those of delicate, elusive fragrance,
command high prices in the worlds cultural
centers
Orchids! Ones imagination involuntarily
flies across endless waters and lands of many
climes, into dank green jungles of the
Malayans, of Africa or the deltas of the
Amazon. Bronzed. hard faced men, accus-
toned to constant difficulty, fear and danger,
tramp for days, weeks and sometimes months
through green hell in search of these exotic
blooms. Many have been killed by jungle
beasts, by venomous snakes or poisonous
insects. Many have wasted away with slow,
fierce fevers. Yet the search goes on.
The location of the rare, greatly coveted
species of this mysterious order of plantdom,
Orehidacex, is always highly unpredictable
The orchid hunter never knows whether he
will find the object of his search along jungle
nver-bank, in deep dark canyon. on high,
vine covered tree or in dense, almost i'm
penetrable forest swamp. The end of his trek
may be almost anywhere If not reached today
it may be reached tomorrow next week,
or next month. That is the romance, the
gamble of it.
In the hazardous game of orchid hunting
there are no set rules to follow. The hunters
success depends wholly upon chance Sheer
luck is the most essential element often
is the only one which decides his success or
failure. A white man may go single handed
into the depths of the jungle and emerge with
priceless blossoms. On the other hand, it
sometimes happens that whole expeditions
have vanished, without trace in the merciless
mystery of the jungle
The native jungle folk, in their inarticulate
appreciation of beauty, have woven many
strange tales about the orchid. Some of the
flowers are held sacred, and there are very
impressive ceremonies in worship of the or
