Mysterious Orchids

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 10:09:28 +0000

So you think you know all about the birds and the bees. Orchids live by different rules, as we will learn from our correspondent in Gothenburg, Sweden. We are at the Gothenburg International Orchid show to learn what separates the orchids and its lovers from the rest of the crowd. Orchids are everywhere. Some are big while others you can hardly see them except through the magnifying glass. Some orchids even live inside what looks like an aquarium. So what separates them from other flowers? [Thomas Andersson, West Swedish Orchid Society]: “They are not as other plants, they don’t behave as other plants, because of this they are consider mystical. There is no stamen and pistil, almost every orchid type have an insect, bird or other animal connected to it that pollinates them. So it has to be right insects, right time all this for an orchid to be pollinated.” That means if these specific insects or birds disappear so does the orchids. There are also extremely valuable and rare orchids that can cost up to more then several thousands of dollars like this small one unique for Borneo. But bigger specimens of this orchid could cost up to 5 times more then that. Thomas shares his small 50 square meter home with his 200 orchids. [Thomas Andersson, West Swedish Orchid Society]: “You can have them in the bathroom, on the wall, the sealing. You can have them on the pedestal. Everywhere!

Wiera Gran sings American tango – Orchids In The Moonlight (Orchidea) 1935

Wiera Gran & Orkiestra taneczna Syrena Rekord – Orchidea (Orchids In The Moonlight) z filmu “Flying Down To Rio” (Youmans /Jerry), Syrena-Electro 1935 NOTE: Wiera Gran was one of the most fascinating personalities in the history of Polish song. A rising great star shortly before the onset of WWII, she continued her career during the nazi occupation of Poland, singing in the cafes or on the concerts in the Warsaw Ghetto and becoming a living legend of her time. With a help of her husband, who was a Polish doctor, she managed to survive the Holocaust on so-called “aryan” side in the Warsaw suburbs, to live up to the most terrible time of her life, that started immediately after the end of war, when she was accused by her compatriots of being a “Gestapo-collaborator” during the war. The decades to come meant for her a desperate struggle to regain her good fame and artistic position, in which she never succeeded. Bitter and disillusioned, she died in 2007 in old people’s home near Paris. She managed to describe her tragic life as victim of accusations that have never been justified or documented – in her book “A Raly Of Caluminators” (1981). Available are in YT several recordings of Wiera Gran, with a lot of biographical infos about her. The best known American version of that great tune is by Rudy Vallee www.youtube.com
