Subject:  Orchids

Description:

Having been bitten by the "orchid bug" I thought they would be a beautiful
subject for a set of Mah Jongg tiles.  Alot of the orchids depicted are in
my collection or the collections of friends. If the tile was designed from
an actual plant the full name is given, if only the genus name appears the
tile is a representation of a hybrid. By the way,  I grow my orchids on my
windowsills or under lights.  Most do not require a  greenhouse, just some
common sense.  If these tiles intrigue you, check with your public library
for books on orchids, contact your local orchid society, go to orchid shows
or write to:
