Orchids and Compassion

The above photos were taken in the Greenhouse at Wisley, home of the Royal Horticultural Society in Surrey. But I wanted to link orchids with compassion in line with recent blog postings, and found the following:

Wisdom of Compassion - Phalaenopsis Sussex Silk
This orchid called out gently and clearly for an essence to be made, with its message of compassion for all beings. Made on the full moon anniversary of the Buddha's enlightenment. The need for this energy is fully apparent in the world at this time. From Living Tree Orchid Essences at Healing Waters
