		Formed near Glasgow in 1986, the Orchids released a series of underground singles on the hugely influential Sarah Records (see 1986 in music).
		The Orchids were musically one of the more interesting Sarah bands and certainly developed far more on that label than any band except, perhaps, The Field Mice.

	The Gardener's Guide to Growing Orchids
		Occasionally, growers succeed in bringing a vandaceous orchid to bloom on a windowsill or under artificial lights (to the accolades and admiration of their peers), but in general these orchids tend to be better suited to growing in a greenhouse, or at least summering outdoors.
		In the home it is best to place orchids as close to the windows as possible and use curtains or light shading to control the amount of sun coming in.
		Orchids usually do fine in unshaded morning and late-afternoon sun but must be protected from full midday sun.

	The Orchids of the Highland Meadows
		Our own British orchids are naturally much less spectacular and conspicuous than the great orchids of the tropics, growing under conditions of great heat and humidity and amid abundant insect life which encourages a much greater executive ability than our colder, less congenial climate.
		In the Highlands, we have eleven orchids, many of which are of common occurrence, especially in the meadows of the valleys and lower hillsides.
		Almost all orchids are dependent on insect for cross-pollinaton and often the scarcity or frequency of a species in a particular area depends on the numbers of its particular insect visitors in that area.

	Orchidales
		Unlike their closest relatives, most orchids have only a single large stamen attached to the pistil to form the gynostemium, visible in the center of an orchid flower.
		When the bee visits another orchid of the same species, thousands of pollen grains are delivered, allowing the plant to mature thousands of tiny dust-like seeds.
		The first orchids were large terrestrial plants, but like bromeliads, orchids took to the trees, where they have diversified to become the largest family of flowering plants.

	The Orchids band biography at LTM
		This was the first Orchids records to be recorded at the legendary Toad Hall, and the first to be produced by Ian Carmichael, unofficial sixth member of The Orchids.
		The Orchids tapped into the electro/guitar Pop collision better and more naturally than most, and if their take on the whole game stayed fairly resolutely on the side of the guitar, then so much the better.
		But regardless, The Orchids surely deserve more than most to be remembered for the wealth of treasures they delivered in the late '80s and early '90s; deserve to have those sounds preserved forevermore, so that they may serve as inspiration for new souls searching for that lazy perfection.

	The Orchids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Orchids first hooked up with Sarah's Matt Haynes and Clare Wadd just as the label was getting underway in 1987, and so The Orchids' debut single, 1988's "I've Got a Habit," was only the second Sarah release.
		The Orchids' early singles were successful enough that simultaneous to the release of their third 7", "What Will We Do Next," in September 1989, Sarah released the label's first-ever album, the 10" Lyceum, a lengthy eight-track EP that, consistent with Sarah's value-for-money ethic, contained no songs that had previously appeared on singles.
		The Orchids' next single, 1990's "Something for the Longing," is possibly the group's all-time high point, a gently yearning lost love song with a gorgeous chorus.

		The Orchids made records for the Bristol based Sarah records and were sadly stigmatised as being fey indiepop janglers by a music press that seemed at the time to long for something more, ah, Rock-derived.
		The Orchids were also largely passed over by those Sarah devotees who instead spent hours moping in bedrooms listening to the Field Mice or flouncing in Pop basement clubs to Heavenly records.
		The Orchids didn't seem to fit in to the Sarah scene, the irony of course being that the Orchids fitted perfectly with the Sarah scene because Sarah was never about scenes and was always about being bloody minded and standing up and just being well, just BEING really.

		The introductory chapters cover the use of the book, the geography and geology of the country, the taxonomy, life cycle and ecology of the orchids, and a discussion of speciation, by hybridization and chromosome doubling in Dactylorhiza.
		The orchid flora is simular to our own and only a few such as Dactylorhiza sphagnicola and some varieties of Dactylorhiza and Epipactis are not found in Britain.
		The orchids, however, are an important flagship group in plant conservation and this book will certainly highlight the problems that they face in a rapidly changing landscape that is the Netherlands under the grip of the common Agricultural Policy of the European Union.
