@@I went to see the World Exhibition of Orchid 2005 at the Tokyo Dome in February. The hall was covered by the good smell of orchid flowers. These are the photoraphs of various kinds of orchid flowers. Orchid was born in tropical forests about 35 million years ago. It was a new face among the flowers and plants. When orchid appeared, the good place of tropical forests had already been occupied by other plants. Then, the strategy that the orchid took was very sophisticated. Orchid prepared the flower valve of vivid colors and good smells for the purpose of attracting insects. In addition, orchid had peculiar shape, which made insect's body carry and bring its pollen far away. That's why orchid has beautiful color, peculiar shape and attractive smell.
