When you live in the tropics, the orchids live outside!

Grandma gets a lot of orchids as gifts. Its a very popular item for showing respect to elders. The beautiful blooms last a long time in the house but when they fall, grandma brings them outside to live with all the other plants on her balcony garden.

Since the climate in Taiwan is humid and rainy, orchids thrive outside with little work. Her collection out here is huge and on a good day, she'll tell you the stories of how they came to her.
