"Raymond Chandler wrote that orchids have the texture of human flesh. Orchids'colours are extravagnt. They can be freckled or mottled or veiny or solid, from the nearly neon to spotless white. Most species are more than one colour......some orchids have colour combinations you wouldn't be caught dead wearing."
(from Susan Orlean's book "The Orchid Thief")
