One of the most interesting aspects of a number of significances given by Mother is how they also have a deep connection on the physical plane. One look at the orchid and we see, in virtually all the epiphytic species a most extraordinary sight. The orchid 'attaches' its roots to its host, usually a tree, but in cultivation it can be a slab of bark, cork, etc., taking nothing from it. In the wild it graces the trunks and branches of trees adding greater and greater beauty to Nature's abundance of beauty. Orchids that grow on tress are epiphytes not parasites.

There are also terrestrial orchids such as Spathoglottis and even a bulbous
plant, Belamcanda that has also been given the significance 'Attachment to the Divine' by Mother.

The terrestrial orchid, Eulophia, has been given the significance, "Exclusive Turning of all Movements towards the Divine".
