As you can see, the medicinal plant trade outperforms any kind of jungle orchid trade for the hobby...

Something's not right in the post. I guess one must copy and paste in a browser search box.?

Interesting. I didn't know dendrobium canes or cymbidiums were useful as medicines in Vietnam. I wonder what they're supposed to prevent?

 

[Lanmark]

Very nice! I envy your travels to that part of our world.

Interesting.. I have heard that dend nobile has medicinal (anti-cancer) properties.. But not sure about fimbriatum... Paphs supposedly have medicinal properties too, but I forgot what they're used for..

Paphs supposedly have medicinal properties too, but I forgot what they're used for..

elimination of a certain pain in spinal column caused by improper seating positioning by removal of dollars from wallet in back pocket

... or numbness or dulled senses when viewing of credit card bills after huge purchases of said orchids!

.. but, brief periods of euphoria when certain special plants have been found either in person or online, and awaiting shipment or carrying them home from the nursery

... and especially the ecstasy and temporary pain removal or alleviation of minor depression when a special plant is found to be in bud or about to flower!
