Orchid lovers

Delhi resident Mary George owns a beautiful orchid garden at home, including 1,000 other plants like succulents and roses.

In 2016, Samir Badal, an industrialist in Telangana, started an orchid farm because he wanted to try something new and was always fond of growing plants.

These folks come from varied backgrounds; there are teachers, businesspeople, students and tea planters, but are bound by the love for native and rare orchids.
