SHOWER OF ORCHIDS FLOWER ESSENCE

February 13, 2017

I discovered Shower of Orchids at the Naples Botanical Garden in Florida. I was introduced to this plant by the former garden director, Brian Holley, whose work is a huge inspiration to me. Brian explained that although named after orchids, this plant is not an orchid at all! It’s a prolifically-flowering vine that can be pruned to look more like a shrub.

What it Reveals

If you’re attracted to the Shower of Orchids, you may be wanting to explore your value and contribution to the world. A part of you may be longing to unleash your full potential and full purpose in life! You may be asking yourself lately about what you offer or are capable of offering at the highest operating level of: YOU!

We’re human! Tiny little niggling fears of being unimportant, opportunities slipping away or a sense of loss around aging may run like a subtle program in the background. Unacknowledged and unchecked, these underlying fears can lead to moments of doubt, confusion, insecurity or feeling not good enough. These emotions can then manifest outwardly in our behavior, when we become quiet, hold back our wisdom or refrain from speaking up.

Have you ever had that feeling where you have something important to say, but you feel yourself becoming deeply quiet? You might be percolating and soaking in your own wisdom, building it up for the perfect timing of unleashing your power! If so … now is the perfect time.

Why it's Special

The Shower of Orchids is a tropical flower native to Thailand and Burma. Within North America, this plant has only ever been seen growing in Florida and Hawaii. At first glance, you see what you think are soft pink and lavender petals, but are actually the bracts that hold the space for the tiny flowers to pop up in the center of what look like propellers made of velvet! The flowers are white and magenta, with stamen and anther that are as subtle as your eyelashes. Over time the fuzzy bracts turn from pink/lavender to gray.

If you happen to live in Hawaii or Florida and have an opportunity to grow this flower, it is said to be an excellent and long-lasting cut flower. It would be a fun flower for florists to play with it’s color palette of pink, lavender, magenta, white and gray and textures of fuzzy velvet.

Single Elixir

Along with being one of the flowers featured in the Divine Timing Collection, Angelica is also available as a single elixir.

Because each flower has its own unique specialty, single flower elixirs can target very specific patterns. The effects of single flower elixirs are often more subtle, yet they go deeper, hitting the bullseye. While it may take longer to discern the shifts taking place, the effects can be profound.
