One of the things that fascinates me about travel is seeing the relative abundance or scarcity of something and the value placed on it as a result.  This photo features a planter of orchids, and these planters cover the entire surrounding wall of the building.  At home, orchids are considered rare and expensive; here they are considered no more interesting than daisies and you can buy bouquets of them in the super market for less than $2.
