THE PINK ORCHID PAINTING - ORIGINAL ACRYLIC ON CANVAS  50x70cm by Diana Merfeldiene This painting Represents innocence, femininity, grace, joy and happiness. Did you know that Orchids are considered symbols of Love because of the fact that the plants grow easily, and bloom under most conditions. During the Victorian era, it was a custom to gift exotic and rare flowers to show love and affection. It was even believed that rarer the flower you chose as a gift, deeper was your love. In parts of Europe, orchids were used as a key ingredient in love potions.
