Easy, smells like roses."... when you buy an orchid at Woodsprite you get a fact sheet on the care of your particular specimen... Woodsprite gets its name from the enchanting woods and the helpful spirits, or "sprites" within... "Benevolent spirits or "wood sprites" inhabit these blue-hazed sanctuaries protecting the surrounding flora and fauna from evil and harm. There are days, if you're quiet and perfectly still, you can practically hear Pan playing his pipes to charm the woodland nymphs."
