Art for Orchids Orchids are emblematic of the fragility of nature, and through my paintings, I hope to reach out to raise awareness of how much more needs to be done to protect species and the environments in which they survive.

International Flower Essence Repertoire The International Flower Essence Repertoire is based in the Inner Hebrides in Scotland, and has been importing and selling flower essences for the past 14 years. In the past 11 years they have been producing their own line of "flower essences" made with orchids they grow in a greenhouse on their premises. It is their manufacturing of the Living Tree Orchid Essences which brings about their involvement with the OCC and 1% FOC. It should be noted that their method of making orchid "essences" does not involve the cutting or harming of any orchids.
