and flower arrangements were used to send messages between lovers.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> These&nbsp;messages with flowers&nbsp;, could not be expressed in words due to the rigidity of the protocols and &#8230; because sometimes, those relationships were not framed within the prevailing &#8220;morality&#8221;.&nbsp;<br> At that time, orchids were not exactly the best flowers to send messages, the reason is obvious: Although the language of flowers and messages through flowers in Europe began in the seventeenth century, at the court of Charles II of England It is not until the same&nbsp;<strong>seventeenth century that orchids begin to be known and popularized in Europe.<\/strong><br> But quickly the orchids have occupied a privileged place in floral arrangements.&nbsp;<br> The diversity of colors, varieties, sizes and types of flowers, with&nbsp;<strong>more than 30,000&nbsp;varieties of&nbsp;different&nbsp;orchids&nbsp;,<\/strong>&nbsp;have boosted orchids to the rank of the most elegant and distinguished flowers of nature.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table Of Contents <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1&nbsp;Gift orchids<\/li><li>2&nbsp;white orchids<\/li><li>3&nbsp;Red orchids<\/li><li>4&nbsp;Yellow orchids<\/li><li>5&nbsp;Orchids purple<\/li><li>6&nbsp;Pink orchids<\/li><li>7&nbsp;blue orchids<\/li><li>8&nbsp;green orchids<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Gift Orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Give orchids<\/strong> It seems to me an absurdity to&nbsp;<strong>cut the floral rods of the orchids<\/strong>&nbsp;to make flower arrangements, although I understand that the florist industry works like this.&nbsp;<br> I say this because&nbsp;the flowering of orchids&nbsp;, although dilated in time, since their flowers can last between two and three months, occurs only once a year in most of the specimens.&nbsp;<strong>I&#8217;m very sorry to cut some flowers, which I can enjoy much longer in a pot.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> However, you have to surrender to the evidence,&nbsp;<strong>giving orchids is giving beauty<\/strong>&nbsp;and of course we send a very clear message, the person to whom we are making the present is very much appreciated and admired.<br> Giving orchids is loaded with great symbolism, just as other flowers were in the past.&nbsp;<strong>Each color of orchids is given a meaning,<\/strong>which can be more curious than real (if the person receiving the orchids does not know their meaning), but which we can use to our advantage &#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>White Orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>White orchids<\/strong><strong><\/strong>\n\nAll, all, all&nbsp;<strong>white\nflowers are a declared symbol of purity<\/strong>&nbsp;, that&#8217;s why white orchids\nemit a clear message, whether we are giving away white orchids, or using them\nas decoration: sincerity, purity, eternity &#8230;&nbsp;<br><strong>It is not unusual to find Many bridal bouquets contain white\norchids,<\/strong>&nbsp;or are used in flower centers as\ndecoration on such a marked day.&nbsp;<br>\nIf we give away white orchids, we are offering a&nbsp;<strong>pure,\nunconditional and sincere love.&nbsp;<\/strong>An ideal gift among lovers, to\ndemonstrate the depth of feelings.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/white-orchid-1-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-545\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Red orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Red is associated with passion, first love, carnal desire,<\/strong>&nbsp;those feelings that only happen at the beginning of relationships as a couple.&nbsp;<br> If what we want is to demonstrate and say without words that we die for love, the best thing is to&nbsp;<strong>give some red orchids.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> They are the perfect flowers for those dates so indicated, although I recognize that they are very commercial, like&nbsp;<strong>the day of the lovers or a special anniversary.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> Just keep in mind that you have to&nbsp;<strong>give red flowers when there is a certain feeling<\/strong>&nbsp;, and you have taken the first steps in a relationship.&nbsp;If you give away red orchids on the first date, you can scare the other person <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cattleya9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-544\"\/><figcaption>A RED CATTLEYA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Yellow orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Yellow is a color that I love, it&nbsp;<strong>gives off luminosity and is associated with success, wealth and luxury.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> It seems that&nbsp;<strong>giving away yellow orchids has certain sexual connotations,<\/strong>&nbsp;as if yellow orchids were an invitation.&nbsp;<br> I think they do not have to have just that meaning.&nbsp;For me the yellow flowers are cheerful and fun, I love them and can give themselves simply for the pleasure of doing it or to show some respect and friendship <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tipos-de-orqu\u00eddeas-Lycaste-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-543\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purple Orchids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The&nbsp;<strong>purple or purple orchids<\/strong>&nbsp;are very appreciated.&nbsp;<br> The purple color has always been associated with the ecclesiastical and legal estates, not in vain are colors present in much of its symbolism.&nbsp;<br> We could say that&nbsp;<strong>the purple is a &#8220;fair&#8221; color,<\/strong>&nbsp;and that it would be a good idea to offer purple orchids to someone who is distinguished by being coherent, and who is governed by principles of equality and justice.&nbsp;<br> It does not have to be a person related to these professions, we just think that is right, fair and we want to&nbsp;<strong>show our affection, affection and gratitude<\/strong>&nbsp;for their way of guiding their decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Pink Orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The pink orchids&nbsp;<strong>leave aside the passion of the red orchids, to enter more into the feelings of the lovers.&nbsp;<\/strong><br> You could say that pink orchids&nbsp;<strong>are for declarations of love<\/strong>&nbsp;, and not for declarations of passion.&nbsp;<br> In this sense and being a suitable flower to declare love, it can also be a perfect present to give to a mother, or for a friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Blue orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blue is the color of business,<\/strong>&nbsp;but also of peace and harmony.&nbsp;If you want to make peace with your partner, but without saying a word, give some blue orchids.&nbsp;<br> They&nbsp;<strong>are<\/strong>&nbsp;also&nbsp;<strong>suitable as a present among coworkers, or as a demonstration of appreciation<\/strong>&nbsp;among people who are going to close a business, hoping that the outcome is the best for both parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Green Orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The green, which&nbsp;<strong>is not a very common color in flowers, it<\/strong> is possible to find it in orchids, where the number of existing hybrids offer a very wide palette of colors. <br> So,&nbsp;<strong>if you want to give green orchids, you can do it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mygardenguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/green-orchid.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-542\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBut what are you going to transmit?&nbsp;It is a color that&nbsp;<strong>is\nassociated with hope, spontaneity, freedom and nature.&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\nIn short, if we give away green orchids&nbsp;<strong>we want to\ntransmit trust, support a person who is having a bad time and hope that\neverything will be resolved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Purple Orchids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On sale you will find a good\nnumber of&nbsp;<strong>purple orchids<\/strong>&nbsp;, perhaps the most popular for us are\nthe Phalaenopsis.&nbsp;<br>\nBut the purple color in the orchids is not exclusive to the\nPhalaenopsis, you will find many more varieties of orchids in purple, such\nas&nbsp;<strong>the Vanda or Dendrobium<\/strong>&nbsp;, to name some of the most\nrecognizable to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contents <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1\u00a0How to care for a purple
