Orchids BY Inspiration
AP Newsfeatures


FAYETTEVILLE, Ark - It takes
seven years to grow an orchid. Mrs.
Ruth Woodruff Gilbert can create
one in few hours with a pair of
scissors and piece Of wood fiber.
Even florists are fooled by her
product.
It's a hobby with Mrs. Gilbert,
who lives near here. She says her
only aim is to make other people
happy with her flowers. In 1889,
Mrs. Gilbert was riding with a
friend and noticed an illustrated
orchid on a billboard sign. The Ar
kansan had never seen a live orc
lid, but was struck by the beauty
of the flower on the sign.
Mrs. Gilbert rushed home and
