Jere Slocums is an artist that creates metal orchid sculptures. He goes into the very details of the plant which makes his work astonishing. You can check out the Metal Orchids and Wildlife in Covington, LA, and you'll soon be convinced.
In Vitro Orchids
I found out about in vitro orchids while I was in Costa Rica, I loved the thought of growing my own orchids from seedlings so much I brought several home for myself and for gifts. I found the best deal online at Tropic Joe's Store where the in vitro orchids come in a pack of six assorted orchids for $50. Each baby orchid is in a clear glass bottle and set in nutrient rich gel that will feed it for up to a year after which you take them out and replant them. It will be a long time till the orchid begins blooming but how neat is it to see an orchid through from the beginning.
Orchid Artwork
There are a lot of artists who focus on orchids. Their price range may vary considerably, from low to very high end. On the low end, you might want to consider a site like AllPosters, it features a lot of work on orchids at an affordable price.
Orchid Magazine
This is for the more serious orchid gardeners. Orchid Magazines are packed full of illustrations, photographs, travel destinations, and gardening tips. A yearly subscription to the magazine can be bought for a couple of dollars. This ensures the gift will be enjoyed throughout the whole year! To start, I would recommend looking at the Orchid Digest Magazine.
