Orchid Ketubah
Reform text shown
This ketubah was created when I purchased an orchid stem for an evening with friends. The flowers lasted and lasted. At one point, I decided to take several photographs of the exquisite flowers in different settings. The very next day, I started working on this Orchids Ketubah.
Orchids have been the symbol of love, luxury and beauty for centuries. In Confucius' time, orchids were called "The plant of the king's fragrance." In the middle ages, they were regarded as an aphrodisiac and were included as a main ingredient in love potions. If you've ever had an orchid appear in a dream, they represent a deep inner need to keep delicacy, gentleness and romance in a relationship.
Did you know that the popularity of orchids as we know them today came about by sheer happenstance? Orchids were a curiosity with botanists and wealthy collectors until William Cattley, unpacking plants (not orchids) shipped to him in 1818, noticed a strange plant used for packing material. He potted a few of them and later that year the first cattleya orchid bloomed for him. The flower world was forever changed and the orchid is still one of the most coveted and captivating in the flower kingdom.
