He sent me some seeds, and on raising some plants I was so much fascinated and perplexed by the revolving movements of the tendrils and stems, which movements are really very simple, though appearing at first sight very complex, that I procured various other kinds of climbing plants and studied the whole subject.... Some of the adaptations displayed by climbing plants are as beautiful as those of orchids for ensuring cross-fertilisation."
He may be weak, but he is a gentleman. You have made a mistake, and some day you will be sorry for it. Do you grow those orchids yourself?" Littimer laughed, with no sign of anger remaining. All the same, Christabel could see that his thin brown hand was shaking. She noticed the lines that pain had given under those shrewd black eyes. "You must see my orchids," he said.
"I can see that there is light, sir, where you are; but you have your back to the west. It is the warm sunset." "Then you are not quite blind, my lad. Well, has Mrs Mostyn forgiven you about her orchids?" "Ah! I remember you now, sir," cried Grange. "You are the friend the great doctor who came to see them."

Beyond the brushwood, which grows where the original forest has been cut down, there are large trees covered with numerous epiphytes Tillandsias, orchids, ferns, and a hundred others, that make every big tree an aerial garden.
Lina, with a cry of delight, clutched at a spray of butterfly-like mauve and white orchids, in spite of her sister's gentle "No, no, Lina, you must not touch." Babie offered some China asters in its stead, Cecil muttered "Let her have it;" but Esther was firm in making her relinquish it, and when she began to cry, led her away with pretty tender gestures of mingled comfort and reproof.

But on the table was a large earthenware bowl, full of meadow orchids, blue-bells, and a bunch of may in flower. His hat, wide in the brim, lay on the floor; his doublet was on the wooden block or seat, with the long tight-fitting trousers, which showed every muscle of the limb, and by them high shoes of tanned but unblacked leather.
