The scent, called Miami Glow, has a target market of teenaged girls and carries a lighter scent than its predecessor, Glow, which is aimed at adult women. Miami Glow's lighter scent was achieved by combining the essences of pink grapefruit, coconut water, cyclamen, and vanilla orchid. It seems Lopez has a special affinity for orchids. Not only are they an integral part of some of her perfumes, she's also been photographed wearing white orchids in her hair. It leads one to wonder, does Lopez grow her own orchids? If she does, does she care for them or pay someone else to do it? There are over 17,000 species of orchids grown all over the world in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. For example, one variety called oncidium bears yellow blossoms with fiery orange-red markings that are from one to one-and-a-half inches in diameter. Another variety, the cattleya, grows huge, ruffled white or purple flowers that are up to six inches in diameter. Perhaps their many varieties can be attributed to the fact that they've had millions of years to develop and change. Orchids have been around since the time of the dinosaurs 20-million years ago! Throughout history, the orchid has been prized for its beauty and fragrance. It's been a symbol of love, wealth, and beauty. Greeks prized the orchid as a symbol of virility while the Chinese revered it for its scent, calling it "the plant of the king's fragrance. And, in the Middle Ages, the orchid was believed to be an aphrodisiac, so it was used in concocting love potions. Sometime around the 18th century people began to collect and grow orchids in earnest. Today, the orchid market commands a worldwide retail economy of $9 billion, with wholesalers shipping 8.5 million plants yearly to the U.S. alone. All of this interest in orchids has spawned an entirely new enterprise-orchid sitting. Many people who place a high value on the orchids they grow, but who don't have the time or know-how to care for them, pay others to do the work. One San Francisco architect pays $300 each month to have his collection of 200 orchids (valued at $10,000) cared for. Although that might seem a bit extravagant to some of us, paying an expert to care for your orchids actually makes a lot of sense due to the tricky nature of the orchid during the time when it isn't blooming. Orchids bloom only once or twice a year, and only for a couple of weeks at a time, so they spend a great deal of the year in "down time." During this time, orchids are especially difficult to keep healthy. As a result, businesses have popped up to board orchids while they're dormant. For example, California Orchids, run by Mary Nisbet, boards 12,000 plants in five greenhouses. There they are pampered with repotting, fertilizing, watering, and delivery to their owners just as they're about to bloom. With such great services available, even a busy woman like Jennifer Lopez could begin her own orchid collection...or perhaps she already has? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
